Trump: Ukraine must move quickly

Talks about peace in Ukraine will take place again in Miami this weekend. For US President Trump it is clear who has to make compromises.

US President Donald Trump has called on Kiev to give in in efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine, which has been attacked by Russia. Asked about talks scheduled to continue this weekend in Miami, Florida, Trump said negotiations were moving toward a resolution, “but I hope Ukraine moves quickly.” He added: “And you know, every time they (Ukrainians) take too much time, Russia changes its mind.”

In addition to American-Russian talks, there will also be further meetings between the USA and Ukraine this weekend. The Ukrainian negotiators are already on their way to the USA, said President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to the Interfax-Ukraina news agency. “Our team will be in the USA on Friday and Saturday.”

US media reported that a meeting between representatives of the Kremlin and the US government was planned in Miami. It is also said to be about the peace plan that was recently developed further in Berlin by Ukraine, the Europeans and the USA, as the news portals “Politico” and “Axios” reported, citing informed circles and an unnamed official from the White House. A meeting between representatives of the USA, Russia and Ukraine is not expected at the moment.
