US President Donald Trump is growing impatient with the stalled Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
The Stakes are High
The conflict has been ongoing since 2022, with no end in sight.
Trump says the US can’t stay involved forever if there’s no progress.
He wants a deal, but if it’s not possible, the US will step back.
This comes after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s successor, in this case, Marco Rubio, said the US has other priorities.
Rubio just met with European leaders in Paris and said the US needs to know soon if a deal is possible.
If not, they’ll move on.
A New Development
Despite the lack of progress on the peace talks, the US and Ukraine just signed a deal to create a joint investment fund.
This fund will help rebuild Ukraine.
The exact details aren’t clear yet, but it might include Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and natural resources.
The goal is to finalize the agreement by April 26.
Different Views
Trump has blamed both Russia and Ukraine for making things complicated.
Dmitry Peskov, Russia’s government spokesperson, responded that Russia is still committed to peace talks.
They want to protect their interests and are open to negotiations, but it’s a tough process.
Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s leader, said the fighting is still intense.
Russia launched several missile strikes on Ukraine on Friday, killing two people.
The situation remains volatile, with no clear resolution in sight.
