📰 Trump and Putin Slam Ceasefire Idea: Donbas or Bust The Kremlin just delivered the verdict: President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are united in rejecting the European-Ukrainian push for a temporary ceasefire. According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, the two leaders believe such a pause would only prolong the war and risk renewed hostilities. "The option of a temporary ceasefire proposed by the Ukrainians and the Europeans... only leads to a prolongation of the conflict and is fraught with renewed hostilities." — Yuri Ushakov, Kremlin The 75-minute call between Trump and Putin came ahead of Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Miami. Both leaders agreed that Kyiv must make a “bold decision” on Donbas—Russia wants Ukraine to withdraw from the last 10% of the region it still controls. Moscow insists this is the price for peace. Trump, eager to end the war, reportedly listened closely to Russian assessments and pushed hard for a swift resolution. He emphasized the “impressive prospects” for economic cooperation between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. But European allies fear Trump may sacrifice Ukraine’s interests for a quick deal, leaving them to bear the burden of rebuilding a devastated country. So, is this the final push for peace—or just another chapter in the great Donbas poker game? #Trump#Putin#Ukraine#Russia#Donbas#ceasefire#diplomacy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
