President Trump Expresses Willingness to Negotiate Peace Deal with Russia to End Ukraine War
The U.S. President calls for diplomatic efforts involving Russia and China, as NATO underscores military support for Ukraine.
United States President Donald Trump announced his readiness to engage in negotiations with Russia to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Speaking via videolink at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump highlighted his recent discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping, emphasizing China's potential influence on Russia due to their energy relationship.
The conflict began on February 24, 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Since then, both Ukrainian and Russian forces have been engaged in intense combat.
President Trump indicated he has been in communication with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who expressed a willingness to pursue a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte underscored the necessity for continued Western military support to Ukraine, pointing to the long-term financial implications of failing to do so.
He suggested that European allies should contribute more significantly to the provision of U.S. arms to Ukraine if required.
Additionally, Ukraine is seeking security guarantees from its allies, potentially involving European peacekeepers.
The prospect of NATO peacekeeping forces in Ukraine was dismissed by Russian authorities, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warning against such actions, citing risks of heightened escalation.
Russia has advocated for mutually respectful dialogue, echoing sentiments shared during Trump’s previous presidency.
On the economic front, European Commission Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis acknowledged the strategic importance of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies to Europe.
The collaboration began in response to the pressures following the 2022 invasion, reinforcing the EU's desire to reduce dependency on Russian gas.
President Trump also addressed the issue of nuclear weapons, expressing his intent to work with Russia and China on reducing their arsenals, aiming for wider international nuclear arms control.
