Sources close to U.S. President Donald Trump told the Telegraph that he remains committed to brokering a ceasefire but is growing impatient.

Summary

Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated with the ongoing aerial strikes between Russia and Ukraine, despite his efforts to broker peace.

After recent talks with both leaders, Russia claimed a 30-day pause on energy infrastructure strikes, but Ukraine accused Russia of continuing civilian attacks.

Heavy attacks continue, with recent Russian strikes killing four and injuring 13 in Ukraine. Ukraine has also reportedly launched strikes against Russian infrastructure, which Russia claims caused significant damage.

A proposed broader ceasefire faltered over Russian demands to halt foreign military support for Ukraine.

    He’s angry that he can’t claim the win, nothing more or less. Who knew geopolitics could be so difficult? And like a child who can’t comprehend something, he will pivot his attention to something else entirely and pretend this episode never happened.

      He promised something that wasn’t his to give. Then did the absurdly naive and ill-informed decision to attempt to negotiate with Putin by assuming against overwhelming evidence that Putin respects him and that he’d act out of good faith if he approached him in a position of submission and weakness. Now the Russians are taking advantage of it.

      I bet Putin “promised” Trump he’d give him that win and now he’s just using it as a carrot on a stick to lead him along.

    I don’t get why he cares.

    Does he just want to have Ukraine publicly thank him?

    Or did he promise the minerals from Ukraine to Elon?

    If only someone had told him that Putin doesn’t negotiate in good faith.

    Oh wait, that’s precisely what Zelensky was trying to fucking say before the idiot of a VP that Trump has started dicking around in front of the cameras.

        Afaik big part of the prize is to actually encourage peace. If you’re given the prize for “best potato peeler in the world” you’ll probably peel more potatoes or train people and promote potato peeling in general.
