The pact between Presidents Trump and Putin to “end the war” in Ukraine will have to be postponed; “serious preparation is needed”: Russia
Mexico City, October 21 (However).- The White House confirmed this Tuesday that he has not scheduled a meeting in the immediate future between the President Trump and the President of Russia, Vladimir Putinto continue with the talks about the conflict with Ukraine, then after Russian diplomacy announced the cancellation of the meeting in Hungary that both leaders had agreed upon.
“He Rubio Secretary and the Foreign Minister Lavrovthey had a productive call. Therefore, a face-to-face meeting between the two is not necessary,” said a senior official from the White House al Financial Times. “There are no plans for the President Trump meet with him President Putin in the immediate future,” he added.
This after, according to the Financial Timesthe Kremlin will lower expectations for the resolution of the conflict after stating that “serious preparation is needed” to address the causes that led to the military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.
On October 16, the presidents of both powers had agreed to meet in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, to “put an end” to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, although they did not give details about when this meeting could take place.
Trump and Putin agreed to this meeting on the eve of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House last Friday, where he left without the Tomahawk missiles with which he believes he can change the course of the conflict.
Russia maintains skepticism in its diplomatic positions, as it maintains that, in order to end the conflict with Ukraine, it is necessary to address the root causes that, in the first instance, led to the outbreak of the conflict, which is why a ceasefire under current conditions is inadmissible.
“An immediate ceasefire would mean abandoning the root causes of the conflict and leaving most of Ukraine under Nazi rule,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday, emphasizing that the ceasefire is “exactly the opposite of what Putin and Trump agreed to in Alaska” on August 15.
“We have agreed to continue telephone contacts to better understand where we are and the best way to move in the right direction,” Lavrov said.
