Media: Trump says Russia is willing to sign a peace agreement while Zelenskyy is not
Sputnik Moscow, January 15 - U.S. President Trump said in an exclusive interview with Reuters that Russia is willing to sign a deal to mediate the Ukraine conflict, and the delay in signing is the responsibility of Zelenskyy.
The report said that Trump stated that Russian President Putin is willing to accept a deal to end the Ukraine conflict, which differs from Zelenskyy's position.
Reuters quoted Trump as saying, "He is willing to accept the deal, and I think Ukraine has less willingness to sign the deal."
On December 2, 2025, Russian President Putin met with U.S. presidential envoy Witkov and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Trump and founder of Affinity Partners, at the Kremlin. The U.S. delegation's visit to Russia aimed to discuss the U.S.-proposed plan for mediating the Ukraine conflict. Putin stated that the U.S. had divided the 27 points in the plan into four parts and suggested discussing them separately.
Russian Presidential Assistant Ushakov said that the Russian-U.S. talks held at the Kremlin were very detailed, and he also stated that Russia and the United States will continue to engage. In addition, Ushakov said that the Russian military's advances on the battlefield have had a positive impact on the process and nature of the talks.
Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov also stated that the Kyiv regime should make a decision and start negotiations. The free space for Kyiv to make decisions is shrinking due to the Russian military offensive, which is intended to force the Kyiv regime to resolve the issue peacefully. The continuation of the conflict is meaningless and dangerous for Kyiv.
