Trump runs out of support: Russia rejects his peace plan and the consequences are severe

Russia has criticized, for the first time on Tuesday, the peace plan with Ukraine proposed by Donald Trump, the President of the United States. “We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans seriously, but we also cannot accept all of this as it stands,” said Sergei Ryabkov, Deputy Foreign Minister.

“From what we can judge, there is no place today for our main demand, which is the solution to the problems linked to the original causes of the conflict. This is something completely missing and something that must be overcome,” Ryabkov pointed out.

However, the Deputy Foreign Minister did not specify what these priorities refer to, but he did confirm that Russia raised them in the most recent negotiations with the United States in Saudi Arabia.

President Vladimir Putin of Russia proposed last week replacing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with a temporary external administration to hold elections in Ukraine and, ultimately, “begin negotiating a peace agreement.” “A provisional government could be introduced in Ukraine under the auspices of the UN, the US, European countries, and other partners,” explained Putin.

On the other hand, Trump insisted on Monday that he wants his Russian counterpart to “reach an agreement” to end the war, reiterating that he is willing to impose sanctions on Moscow. “I think he will. I don’t want to have to impose secondary tariffs on their oil,” added the Republican leader, who reminded that he had already done so with Venezuela by imposing sanctions on buyers of crude from the South American country.

Previously, he told NBC that he was “very angry” when the Kremlin chief criticized the credibility of his Ukrainian counterpart, whom he had previously labeled as a “dictator without elections.”
