“I would not be too pessimist and did not say that the Russians are not interested.” I would say that now the Russians are asking for a certain set of concessions to stop the conflict. We believe they ask for too much, “Vance replied.
He recalled the words of President Trump that he can “turn and go” if American efforts end with nothing.
“The step that we would like now – we would like the Russians and Ukrainians to agree to some basic principles to sit down at the table and start negotiations. Undoubtedly, the US is glad to participate in this conversation. But it is very important that Russia and Ukraine begin to talk to each other,” said Jay Di Vance.
He acknowledged that the differences between the positions of Russia and Ukraine in how they see the acceptable end of the war are very large.
“In our opinion, the next step in the negotiations should be an attempt to close that gap,” Vance said, adding that without direct negotiations between the two sides is probably not to do.
The US Vice president made it clear that Washington is no longer focused on the proposals of a 30-day truce-which Ukraine has certainly agreed.
“Ukraine said that we will agree to the 30-day truce-we appreciate it … What the Russians said-that the 30-day truce is not in their strategic interests. We try not to focus on a 30-day truce, but more on how long-term settlement will look,” said Jay Dia.
“If the” cold heads “take the mountain, it can be ending in a long peace, it will be economically advantageous for Ukraine and Russia, and, more importantly, it will stop the destruction of human lives,” he added.
Recall that US President Donald Trump believes that the proposal of a “three -day truce” from Putin is a “very much” compared to what was before.
He also expressed the opinion that the ruler of the Russian Federation became more tuned to conclude peace after a recent fall in oil prices.
Meanwhile, the special ambassador of the US President on Ukraine, Kit Kellogg, voiced the idea of a demilitarized zone that Ukraine and Russia will be controlled.
