U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that Russia cannot delay ceasefire talks in Ukraine indefinitely, stating that Moscow now faces a “psychological deadline” to reach an agreement.
“It’s a psychological deadline. If I think they’re dragging their feet, I’m not going to be happy about it,” Trump told reporters from The Hill aboard Air Force One.
Despite his warning, Trump expressed confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin still “wants to make a deal” on Ukraine.
However, Trump also voiced disappointment over Putin’s recent remarks discrediting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that both leaders need to work together to end the war.
“I’ve been disappointed by some of the things he’s said in the last day or two about Zelensky because he thinks he’s untrustworthy. He has to make a deal with him—whether you like him or not,” Trump said.
Just a day earlier, Trump said he was “very angry” and “furious” after Putin proposed the introduction of external governance in Ukraine to facilitate presidential elections.
Even so, Trump reminded reporters that he has a “very good relationship” with Putin, and that “anger quickly dissipates” when the Russian leader “does the right thing.”
