President Trump expressed optimism about the potential finalization of a 30-day cease-fire agreement between Russia and Ukraine during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Despite these positive signals, he acknowledged the complicated nature of negotiations, particularly with President Putin's stipulations. Discussions about land concessions and other parameters for a peace agreement have reportedly taken place. Conversely, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky countered Trump's optimism, characterizing Putin's numerous preconditions as an obstacle to any meaningful progress toward a resolution.
It doesn't mean anything until we hear what the final outcome is, but they have very serious discussions going on right now with President Putin and others.
We've been discussing with Ukraine land and pieces of land that would be kept and lost, and all of the other elements of a final agreement.
Mr. Putin's response to the cease-fire proposal, he said, was very predictable. Mr. Putin set so many preconditions that nothing will work out at all.
A lot of the details of a final agreement have actually been discussed.
