Donald Trump speaks about negotiations to end the war in Ukraine

US President Donald Trump has said that the White House is planning to hold meetings and negotiations to end the war "with Ukraine, Russia and various parties." He did not specify whether there are already concrete agreements.

At Joint Base Andrews on Sunday evening, February 2, during a conversation with American journalists, the head of state said that his administration had "already scheduled" meetings to end the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine. This was reported by CNN.

"We are dealing with Ukraine and Russia, we have meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia," Trump said.

Journalists asked the White House for additional details.

CNN writes that Trump's comments came after an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for a "deeper approach" from Kyiv's allies.

"The remarks follow recent comments from the Trump administration, which appeared to call for new elections in Ukraine alongside a plan to mediate a potential cease-fire with Russia," the article says.

This is probably a statement by US Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg, who said that Washington would like Kyiv to hold elections by the end of the year.

"In most democratic countries, elections are held during wartime. I think it's important that they do. I think it's good for democracy. That's the beauty of a strong democracy: you have more than one potential candidate," Kellogg told Reuters.

Zelenskyy's adviser, Dmytro Lytvyn, said it was difficult to "fully assess" Kellogg's views, but warned that "if his plan is just a ceasefire and elections, then it is a failed plan" because Putin is not afraid of these two things.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invited US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Ukraine, who said that the war had "thrown" the country back 100 years. According to the president, Rubio should see what Ukrainians have done for the security of their homeland and the world.
