Reference News Network, July 4 report. According to AFP, July 3 report, US President Trump on July 3 admitted for the first time that he was powerless. After a call with Russian President Putin, he admitted that "no progress has been made in ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict."
Trump told the media, "No, I didn't make any progress in this conversation," and added that he was "dissatisfied" with the conflict happening between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian President had just told him that Russia "would not give up" its "goals" in Ukraine, while expressing willingness to continue negotiations with Kyiv.
This is the sixth conversation between the two leaders since Trump returned to the White House this January.
Just the day before, Washington announced a suspension of the delivery of certain weapons to Ukraine, three and a half years after Russia's invasion. The United States is the main provider of military aid to Ukraine, and this decision may put Kyiv in a difficult situation as the Russian army continues to advance on the front lines.
During his visit to Denmark on July 3, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called on European countries to increase support for Ukraine to cope with the situation where the United States seems to be withdrawing from the country.
On July 3, Putin held a one-hour meeting with Trump, and Kremlin foreign affairs advisor Yuri Ushakov told reporters that it was an "open" meeting.
Ushakov said that Russia "continues to seek a political and negotiation solution" to the conflict with Ukraine.
Puvin "emphasized that Russia hopes to continue" the "negotiation process" that began in Istanbul. Ukraine and Russia recently held two direct meetings in Istanbul, but the results were minimal.
However, Ushakov insisted: "Russia will not give up its goals." (Translated by Lin Xiaoxuan)
