Kremlin says instant results not possible after Trump demands Ukraine progress

The Kremlin said on Sunday contacts with U.S. President Donald Trump's team were moving ahead very well but that it was too early to expect instant results due to the level of damage done to relations under Trump's predecessor Joe Biden.

After his special envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with President Vladimir Putin, Trump said on Saturday discussions aimed at ending the war may be going OK, but "there’s a point at which you just have to either put up or shut up".

"Everything is going very well," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian state television's most prominent Kremlin reporter, Pavel Zarubin, when asked about the differing views of the state of relations between Moscow and Washington.

Contacts were underway at several levels, Peskov said, including via the foreign ministry, intelligence agencies and Putin's investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev.

"But, of course, it is impossible to expect any instant results," Peskov said, citing what he called the damage done to bilateral relations under Biden.

Asked if a Putin-Trump meeting was getting nearer, the Kremlin's Peskov said the two powers were "walking along this path together very patiently" but that trying to restore relations took serious and painstaking work.

His words suggested that such a meeting "requires more work, requires more time".

Tell your Putin to get with the program and agree to President Trump’s Easter ceasefire. The clock is ticking for Putin.

Not-elected Biden and his crew of anti-American globalist/leftists did a GREAT job didn’t they? All of them should be rotting in prison cells for their intentional perfidy.

Putin will find out next week that President Trump isn’t a Biden.

“Tell your Putin to get with the program and agree to President Trump’s Easter ceasefire. The clock is ticking for Putin.”

In about two years under the leadership of Trump and Hegseth the US will be able to produce weapons that can block Putin.

Therefore, Putin isn’t going to give Ukraine or Trump time to do that.

A multi-decade armistice as in effect Korea needs to be put in place soon or Putin will try to grab all of Ukraine, an option gaining favor in Moscow.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia is going to agree to cede what they regard as their territory, therefore:

The front lines are...and...and this agreement shall not invalidate or grant any territorial claim of any party to it.

As always, useful to have facts rather than conjecture.

Sumy is 15 miles from the Russian border and currently under attack. Population 250K.

Kharkiv is about 30 miles from the Russian border and battle seems to be nearer than that. It is Ukraine’s 2nd largest city at 1.3M and is the output source of their only natgas supply (in amounts not huge).

Surrender now, or surrender after many more are dead, the math is easy.

President Trump gave your Putin until Easter to agree to an unconditional ceasefire. The clock is ticking.

I don’t care if it is resolved by Easter.
I care that the globohomopedos stop fomenting WWIII.

The only way the war ends quickly is 1) If Trump permanently cuts off all assistance to Ukraine or 2) If Zelensky is replaced by a new President that wants to end the war.
