It seems there is still another margin for a last -minute agreement – but time and patience in Washington seem to be exhausted at a rapid pace
The patience of the government Trump For the peaceful agreement on Ukraine seems to be exhausted. “If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, we must move forward,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters after meeting with European and Ukrainian officials for talks in Paris.
For US President Donald Trump, who took over his duties convinced that he has the ability to quickly end the most serious conflict in Europe after World War II, there is enormous frustration over the lack of progress, CNN notes.
“The president has spent 87 days at the highest level of this government by repeatedly making efforts to end this war.”Rubio added, as the bloodshed in the war zone continues without end.
In the meantime, Trump warned on his side Today that the United States is ready to take another step “very soon” if no agreement between Moscow and Kiev is reached for the end of the war in Ukraine. Trump said that “we will stop participating” in the efforts to settle the war in Ukraine if either Russia or Ukraine make the end of the conflict very difficult. “If for whatever reason, one of the two sides makes things very difficult. We will simply say: ‘You are stupid. You are foolish. You are awful’, and we will close it.” “But I hope we don’t have to do this,” he said. However, he told reporters that he does not want to say that he was leaving the conversations. He stressed that he still believes that there is a good opportunity to end the conflict.
What could therefore practically mean a US departure from talks about peace in Ukraine?
A choice It could be the doubling of US military support for Ukraine. Despite Trump’s efforts to come closer to the Kremlin, or perhaps because of them, Russian intolerance has emerged as the main obstacle to peace, such as Moscow’s stubbornness over Trump’s proposed ceasefire for 30 days.
Admittedly, new traditions of US dollars in Ukraine may be an unpopular political shift among some Trump supporters, but a new rejuvenated Ukrainian resistance on the battlefield could force the Kremlin to reassess it.
New strict US sanctions on Russian oil and gas, as well as for those who buy them, have also been promoted as a possible means of maximum pressure in Moscow.
The problem is that the forging of peace in Ukraine is just one of the points of the agenda in what Trump and the Kremlin see as a much wider, profitable remodeling of American -Russian relationships – which includes energy agreements, space exploration and contracts.
Back to Paris, Rubio let me mean A second, more likely, choice.
“It’s not our war. We didn’t start him. The United States has been helping Ukraine for the last three years and we want it to be over, but it is not our war. “; Rubio stressedhiring the possibility of the US simply leaving, leaving Ukraine and its European supporters to face Russia on their own.
This would be a huge challenge, given the exhausted resources of Ukraine and Europe’s great reluctance, at present, to strengthen the front lines with its own military supplies.
For the Kremlin, the American unblocking is a double -edged knife. It can give the troubled forces more freedom of movement in Ukraine, but it does not necessarily offer the victory the Russian president Vladimir Putin He insists he wants, on the contrary he extends the pain.
Russian troops, killed and injured at a worrying pace, will continue to be sent to the violent “meat” of the Ukrainian fronts, increasing social pressure to the Kremlin inside the country.
OR pressure on the Russian economywhich has already been weakened by war, will also increase. If there is no peace agreement, it is unlikely that there will be a relaxation of international sanctions already burdened by fragile Russian economics.
Putin, committed to the ultimate victory, can regret that he missed the excellent opportunity offered by Trump to end the devastating war in Ukraine and mitigate his country’s significant casualties.
The Trump government insists that it has not yet resigned – a few hours after Rubio’s comment, Vice President Jay Di Vans said the White House is “optimistic” that the war could still end – but has shown that Washington is not excluded.
“We have to determine very quickly now, and I am talking about days, whether this is possible or not »Rubio said about peace in Ukraine before returning to Washington.
The Kremlin also participates in Bra de Ferm, with his spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisting That “contacts are not scheduled for this week, but, on the other hand, that our established contacts allow us to agree very quickly, very quickly in such a discussion, if needed.”
It seems that there is still a little room for a last -minute agreement. But time and patience in Washington to end the war in Ukraine seem to be exhausted at a rapid pace.
