Trump: ‘Perhaps Something Good Is Happening’
Rokna Economic Desk: As a preliminary understanding has emerged between the U.S. and Ukrainian negotiating teams regarding the continuation of consultations on the 28-point peace plan and the possibility of its amendment, Donald Trump is making claims about the imminent arrival of “good” news.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, wrote in a post on the Truth Social platform: “Is it really possible that a major breakthrough in peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine could be happening??? Don’t believe it until you see it yourself, but something good may be happening.”
According to Rokna, Trump’s remarks were published less than 24 hours after his previous post on the Truth Social website, in which he criticized Ukraine’s leadership for “not showing gratitude” for the United States’ efforts to end the conflict. According to CNN, after a day of intensive negotiations in Geneva on Sunday, U.S. officials appeared “more optimistic” about progress toward ending the war.
These remarks come as, according to a joint Washington–Kyiv statement, the United States and Ukraine continue working on a “revised” peace plan to end the war with Russia. The White House also announced separately that the Ukrainian delegation had told them the plan “reflects their national interests” and “addresses their key strategic requirements,” although Kyiv did not issue its own statement.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has announced its readiness for further dialogue and negotiations with the United States. However, the Kremlin spokesperson said no meeting between the Russian and U.S. delegations is expected to take place this week and added that there are no specific details regarding the talks.
Dmitry Peskov also noted that they are awaiting information regarding possible amendments that appear to have been made to the U.S. proposal for resolving the Ukraine issue.
The Kremlin spokesperson told reporters: “We have not seen any plan yet. We read a statement saying that after the discussions held in Geneva, certain amendments were made to the text we had previously seen. Well, we will wait. Apparently, the dialogue continues and some contacts will proceed. We have not received anything official yet. Moscow does not know what text of the peace plan was drafted during the contacts between the United States and Ukraine in Geneva on Sunday.”
