Trump's unshaped signals on Ukraine leave Moscow unimpressed
The team of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has not yet proposed anything interesting regarding the end of the war in Ukraine, stated Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya.
Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, assessing the proposals from Donald Trump's team regarding ending the war in Ukraine, stated: "Those are some unshaped, unclear signals of readiness for something." We often hear the term "conflict freeze," Nebenzya said in an interview for the state television Rossiya 24.
"Nothing seems interesting"
The ambassador emphasized that Vladimir Putin "clearly and explicitly" defined the conditions for ending the war. "So far, nothing in the signals from the new American administration seems interesting to us," evaluated Nebenzya.
The Moscow Times reminded readers that Trump's associates have put forward at least three concepts to end Russia's war against Ukraine. These include forcing negotiations, freezing hostilities, and postponing Ukraine's NATO membership for a decade, an idea associated with the future envoy for Russia and Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg. Other proposals include an unclear plan from the future U.S. Vice President, J.D. Vance, who advocated for the creation of a demilitarized zone and ensuring Kyiv's neutrality, and suggestions from Trump's future special missions envoy, Richard Grenell, regarding the creation of "autonomous zones."
In early December in Paris, there was a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump suggested an immediate ceasefire and a move to peace negotiations but did not present a plan for resolving the conflict, leading to a "growing sense of uncertainty" in Kyiv. Trump also claimed that if the war ends, Ukraine should obtain security guarantees, The Moscow Times reported.
