Great Britain and France have made significant diplomatic efforts to convince the US president that Russia has cheated on him, Politico wrote.
Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome gathered the leaders of the world and became a rare reason for carefully optimizing future peace negotiations in Ukraine. But the way forward, apparently, will be quite complicated, Politico reports.
An important point is Donald Trump’s brief communication with Vladimir Zelensky at the margins of the ceremony – their first meeting from unsuccessful conversations with the Oval Office. This conversation, according to European allies of Ukraine, marked a move in moods.
For months, Cyrus Starmer and Emmanuel Macron tried to convince Trump to loosen the pressure on Zelensky and focus on the head of Kremlin Vladimir Putin, claiming that the latter would “lead his nose”.
Putin’s public disappointment from Trump became the subject of unimaginable approved diplomats in London and Paris.
British Foreign Ministry head David Lammi said this year he spoke with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio 13 times. Starmer and Trump – almost often. Behind the curtains, the main numbers on the British team were Jonathan Powell and defense minister John Gili, with the support of American ambassador Mark Burnett.
The media warns that such changes may seem diplomatic success for the UK and France, but it is quite fragile. The history of the US approach to negotiations shows how European attempts can be powerless.
Putin has not yet given a specific answer to initiatives from Ukraine and USA. His announcement of three -day Truce through May 9 resulted in distrust of KYIV and among the west allies. On the same day, in unity in Ukraine at LVIV, an EU Foreign Ministry meeting could be held at LVIV, perhaps with David Lammi’s participation.
Trump is more annoyed with the fact that he cannot achieve an agreement with the promised “first 100 days of presidency,” the publication believes.
As you know, on April 26, Donald Trump suggested that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin did not want to stop the war in Ukraine and therefore “we should fight him differently.”
The corresponding statement of the American leader was heard after his meeting with Zelensky with the Vatican. According to the outcomes of the negotiations, the Ukrainian state head of the Ukrainian said that at his meeting with Trump he had the potential to be historic. And in the White House they called the meeting “very productive.”
