(AFP) – The American envoy Steve Witkoff concluded his last conversations with Vladimir Putin de Russia on Friday, after President Donald Trump urged his Russian counterpart to move faster to end what he said was the country’s “war of the country.
Trump has been pressing Moscow and kyiv to agree on a high fire agreement, but has failed to extract any important concession from Kremlin, despite repeated negotiations between Russian and American officials.
The American leader told NBC News last month that he was “angry” with his Russian counterpart, while the main diplomat of the United States, Marco Rubio, warned the last wash washing, not the tolerance “endless negotiations” with Russia about the conflict.
“Russia has to move,” Trump wrote on his social platform of truth, and added that the conflict, which was in February 2022 when Moscow sent troops to Ukraine, had no “sense” and “should never have happened.”
Kyiv and several of their western allies suspect Russia or the storage of conversations on purpose.
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zensky, accused Russia or dragged Beijing to the conflict and on Friday said that hundreds of Chinese citizens were fighting in the line of front of Ukraine along with the Russian troops.
Trump’s post occurred just before the Witkoff meeting with Putin in the presidential library in St. Petersburg, which according to state news agencies lasted four and a half hours.
The Kremlin later said only that the meeting had tasks placed and “focused on several aspects of the Ukrainian settlement”, without elaborating.
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov had previously said that he did not expect diplomatic “advances” of conversations: the third of Witkoff with Putin since February.
Hello, he also said “perhaps” to a question about whether a possible meeting between Putin and Trump would be discussed.
After his last meeting, Witkoff, a Trump ally for a long time, who worked with the president of the United States in real estate, Putin, Putin was a “great leader” and “He is not a bad boy.”
The praise of the envoy of a president seen by the United States as an autocratic adversary highlights the dramatic turn in the Washington approach for the treatment with the Kremlin from the Trump Tok office for a second mandate.
In spite of a burst or diplomacy, it has a little bone significant progress in Trump’s main objective or by achieving a fire.
Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, suggested that British and French troops could adopt control areas in the country, in an interview with The Times published on Saturday.
Kellogg suggested that they could have areas of responsibility to the west of the DNIPRO River, as part of a “tranquility force”, with a demilitarized area that separates them from the areas of Russian Cup in the east.
“You could almost make what happened with Berlin after World War II,” the British newspaper left.
“I was talking about a resilience after fire in support of the sovereignty of Ukraine. In discussions about partition, I was referring to response areas for an allied force (without troops),” he said later in X.
kyiv said this week that his forces had captured two Chinese nationals in the East Donetsk region fighting for Moscow.
The Kremlin denied the claim, while Beijing warned the parties in the conflict against making “irresponsible comments.”
“From now on, we have information that ate several embraced Chinese citizens are fighting as part of the Russian occupation forces,” Zensky told military leaders from allied countries in Brussels.
“This means that Russia is clearly trying to prolong war, even using Chinese life.”
The Ukrainian leader also called Russia for having rejected a complete proposal of high fire of the United States with the Ukrainian approval a month ago.
Putin last month rejected a complete and unconditional pause in the conflict, while the Kremlin has made a truce in the conditional of the Black Sea in the West raising certain sanctions.
Trump has pressed for a broad approach with Moscow, which has yielded some results.
On Thursday, Russia released the double American ballet dancer Ksenia Karelina from prison in exchange for the suspended technological smuggler Arthur Petrov, the second exchange between Moscow and Washton in less than two months.
Karelina, arrested last January on January while visiting Russia to see the family, was serving a 12-year sentence for “betrayal” charges after she donated the equivalent of around $ 50 to a Pro-Ukrine charity organization.
The head of the Moscow Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin said Russia would discuss more exchanges of prisoners in the future.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the swaps helped generate trust between the two parties, which deteriorated under the administration of former US president Joe Biden.
“It helps to generate trust, which is very necessary, but it will take a long time to restore it,” he told reporters.
