“I will solve the Ukrainian in 24 hours as soon as I become president”Donald Trump promised with absolute confidence during his election campaign.

The same reiterated by the then Republican presidential candidate and in his meeting with Ukrainian President Voltimir Zelenski last September in New York: “If we win, I think we will solve it very quickly,” Trump said then.

But two months after Trump’s swearing -in, they probably now realize in the White House that trying to end a collision so wild and complicated can take a long time, the BBC said in a report. After all, Trump himself in a televised interview last weekend admitted that he was “a little sarcastic” when he promised to end the war in Ukraine in one day.

The BBC in its analysis lists the five reasons, which have braked the US president’s plans for the Ukrainian.

Trump overestimated his negotiating abilities

The first reason is that Trump probably fell out of his estimates of his ability to conclude agreements on the power of his personal diplomacy.

It has long been claimed that any international problem can be solved if it is sitting on the table with another leader and closing a deal. Trump spoke for the first time with Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 12, describing their half -time telephone conversation as “extremely productive”.

The two leaders re -sought on March 18th. However, their telephone conversations were fruitless. Instead of the immediate temporary 30 -day truce that Trump wanted, the only thing he managed to get from Putin was a promise to end Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, a commitment he defamed a few hours after the phone call, as Kiev’s.

Putin is not in a hurry

The second reason, according to the BBC analysis, is that Putin made it clear that he does not intend to rush to close an agreement. The Russian president made his first public comments about the negotiations during a press conference last week, a month after his first telephone contact with Trump.

Putin has made it clear that he opposes the two -phase of the White House for a temporary ceasefire before the Ukrainian settlement, noting that “the causes of the war” must first be resolved, as he said, the fear of the Kremlin for the sake of the Nathews.

At the same time, he raised a number of questions that need to be answered and set conditions that need to be fulfilled before an agreement was closed.

Trump’s incorrect focus on Zelenski

The third reason, according to the British network, is that it was probably wrong for the Trump government’s strategy to focus its attention on the Ukrainian side. The White House believed that Zelenski is the obstacle to ending the war.

Western diplomats recognize that Kiev was slow to realize how much the international environment changed with Trump’s return to the White House. However, Washington’s pressure in Kiev, which led to the offensive of Trump’s and his vice -president, Jay Di Vance, against Zelenski at the Oval Office was wasting time, efforts and political capital, while causing a break in US relations with Europe.

The complexity of the conflict

The fourth reason, cited by the BBC, is the complexity of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that makes any arrangement effort difficult. Kiev’s proposal was for a cessation of attacks on the air and sea, which could be relatively easily monitored.

But in their talks with the Ukrainians last week in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Trump’s envoys insisted that any immediate ceasefire should be applied to more than 1,200km long in the east, which was much more so entertained. And of course Putin rejected the proposal.

But even the Russian president’s consent to end attacks on energy infrastructure finds difficulties, which will be the subject of technical negotiations on Monday in Saudi Arabia. Defense and Energy experts will draw a detailed list of electricity plants – nuclear or non -nuclear power plants – which will be protected, while attempting to agree on which weapons systems should not be used by both sides. However, it may take time to determine what is political and energy infrastructure as Kiev and Moscow do not talk directly, but with Washington in between.

White House focusing on Ukraine minerals

The fifth reason, according to the BBC, is the Trump government’s focus on the economic benefits of a US truce, which has gone attention to the priority of ending hostilities. Trump and his advisers spent valuable time trying to end up with Kiev on a framework agreement on the transfer of US access to the significant Ukraine minerals. “Someone saw this as US investment in the future of Ukraine, others as a blackmailing detachment of its natural resources,” the British network says.

Zelenski initially demanded from the US security guarantees that would prevent a future Russian attack in exchange for the mineral agreement, with the Trump government opposing that the presence of US mining companies and their Ukrainian employees will operate. The Ukrainian president eventually attacked the pressures to sign the agreement without security guarantees, but Washington has not yet approved it by looking forward to improving its terms so that it could include any access or even ownership of Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

The truth is, as the BBC notes, that without Trump’s pressure, they would not even begin consultations on ending the war. But, as developments in the last two months show, the goal is difficult to achieve soon.
