On December 3, Trump responded to the Ukraine-Russia issue, stating that the talks between the US and Russia were "very good," and the US believes Putin wants to reach an agreement and end the war. Trump mentioned his previous statement that Ukraine had "no cards left," saying, "When I met Zelenskyy at that time, I told him 'you have no cards to play,' and that was originally the best opportunity to resolve the Ukraine-Russia issue, but they chose inaction wisely at that time, and now they face a lot of difficulties."
Previously, on November 21 local time, US President Trump told the media in the White House that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy must agree to the US-supported Ukrainian peace plan, otherwise the conflict will continue.
Trump recalled his previous conversation with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, saying he had told the other party at that time, "You have no cards to play." He said Zelensky should have reached an agreement "a year ago, two years ago." When talking about criticisms of the peace draft from the outside, Trump did not respond to specific clauses, only saying that if Zelenskyy does not accept it, "then they will continue fighting," but the current scale of casualties on both sides is "unseen since World War II."
On December 3 local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated in his evening video speech that Ukraine is actively preparing for a new round of talks in the US with the representative of US President Trump. Core negotiators such as Umerov, Secretary of the National Security Council, and General Staff Chief Gennatov will continue to promote the dialogue.
