- Trump is trying to negotiate fire in Ukraine
- Russia says that US proposals need to rework
- He says that Moscow is taking ideas “very seriously”
Russia cannot accept US proposals to end war in Ukraine in its current form because they do not address the problems that Moscow considers having caused the conflict, said a high -level Russian diplomat, which suggests that Russia’s conversations from the United States on the subject had stagnated.
The comments of the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Ryabkov suggest that Moscow and Washington have not been able to close differences that President Vladimir Putin raised more than two weeks ago when he said that US proposals needed to rework.
They come when the president of the United States, Donald Trump, seems to be increasingly impatient with what has suggested that it could be a treatment in a broader treatment of Moscow.
Trump in recent days has said that he is “angry” with Putin and has talked about imposing sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil if he feels that Moscow is blocking an agreement.
Ryabkov, a specialist in relations between the United States and Russia, said Moscow could not advance with an agreement.
“We take the models and solutions proposed by Americans very seriously, but we cannot accept everything in their current form,” the state media cited Ryabkov as he told the Russian magazine “International Affairs” in an interview published Tuesday.
“As far as we can see, today there is no place in them for our main demand, that is, to solve the problems related to the fundamental causes of this conflict. It is completely absent, and that must be overcome.”
Putin has said that he wants Ukraine to eliminate his ambitions to join NATO, Russia, to control all four Ukrainian regions that he has claimed as his own, and the size of the Ukrainian army is limited. Kyiv says that these demands are equivalent to demanding their capitulation.
‘Very complex’
When asked about Trump’s latest comments about wanting Putin to make an agreement in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists the earliest Tuesday that Moscow was “continuing our contacts with the US side.”
“The issue is very complex. The substance we are discussing, related to Ukrainian settlement, is very complex. This requires a lot of additional effort.”
Russia also said Tuesday that I was fully complying with a negotiated moratorium in the United States to attack Ukraine energy facilities.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told state television that Defense Minister Andrei Belosov had informed Putin about alleged Ukrainian violations during a meeting of the Russian Security Council on Tuesday.
Russia approved a list of the Violations of the US National Security Advisor. UU. Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Lavrov said.
Before the weekend, Trump had taken a more conciliatory position towards Russia that has disconnected the European allies of the United States while trying to negotiate the end of the conflict in Ukraine, now in his fourth year.
But in recent days, and in the middle of the lobbying of Europeans such as the president of Finland, he urges Russia accounts, has adopted a tougher tone.
