[Trump: A deadline has been set for the Russia-Ukraine issue, and the U.S. attitude may change] On April 24 local time, U.S. President Trump made a series of statements regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump pointed out that both Ukraine and Russia have the willingness to achieve peace and that both sides must engage in negotiations. He also revealed that he has set a deadline regarding the Russia-Ukraine issue, after which the U.S. attitude will differ. However, Russian President’s spokesperson Peskov stated on the 23rd that Trump has never specified any date, and the Russian side believes that setting a deadline for a ceasefire in Ukraine is not appropriate. When discussing the attitude towards Russia, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Russia’s attacks on Kyiv. When asked whether sanctions would be imposed on Russia, Trump stated that he “would prefer to answer this question within a week,” but if an agreement to end the conflict cannot be reached, “things will happen,” emphasizing that the U.S. will do its utmost to cooperate with Ukraine.
