The main goal of the president’s highly anticipated phone conversation with his Russian counterpart on Monday was to emphasise how unlikely any such deal is.
More significantly, it deepened transatlantic tensions over ending the war and sparked further enquiries about Trump’s actual level of involvement.
In order to give negotiations on a sustainable peace deal time to begin, Ukraine and its European allies are advocating for a 30-day ceasefire. Moscow has declined and insisted on holding discussions on a final agreement right now. This procedure might take months, so it appears to be a ploy to let Russia exert pressure.
Trump agreed with his friend in the Kremlin when he declared during his chat with Putin that Russia and Ukraine will now negotiate a ceasefire and, eventually, an end to the war. At the same time, the combat continues, “as only they can.”

Vice President JD Vance had already said that if there was no progress, the US might wash its hands, and he did nothing to stop it.
