Washington, Trump’s second word for business and the world is your guide for that

European leaders will have to talk to Donald Trump on Monday with US President Vladimir Putin to help “prepare” to “prepare” to his designed call, which may be an important week to discuss the peace of Ukraine.

Trump’s administration has called for the Russian President that they faced their first public fought in about three months as an important moment to establish concrete parameters for the permanent settlement of war.

It has long been worried that the US president can cut an agreement with the Kremlin that will ignore Ukraine’s interests, running to influence Trump’s thoughts before the European leaders at the same time discussed.

German Chancellor Fredreach Merge He said he would join French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Sir Care Starmer on Monday for their second call to Trump.

“We can only hope that there will be more progress,” the debate on Moscow’s pressure on Moscow with London and Paris. “My point is to determine Determined to both Europeans and Americans working together, but now intentionally this terrible war has ended soon.”

During the last ten days, Putin has given a very small field, refusing to engage in terms of others, and despite the proposal between the two parties, the Ukrainian President Vloadimire Jelnsky held a meeting last week.

Although the US administration became more impatient with Russia, Trump’s party Putin was defended in their criticism. Trump said on Friday that he arranged directly to Putin because he always felt that a peace treaty “without me” is not possible. Trump is expected to talk to Zensky after calling to Kremlin.

Zensky met with US Vice-President JD Vans in Rome on Sunday, the first face to face between these two people since their blur-up in the White House in February. Gensky called it a “good meeting” and said it included US Secretary of State Marco Ruby.

“We have discussed the discussion of Istanbul, where the Russians sent a lower-level representative without any decision-making authority,” said Jensky. “I have re -confirmed Ukraine’s preparation for the original diplomacy and emphasized the importance of a full and unconditional ceasefire as soon as possible.”

Rubio says that his Russian equivalent Sergey Saturday told him that Moscow would prepare a document “outline their requirements for ceasefire that would then lead a broad discussion”.

In an interview to the CBS, he said, “We do not just want to be involved in this process of endless discussion, some progress should be made, some movements must move forward.”

If a document is “agreed in the next few days” where both sides are willing to exempt “I think we may feel better about being employed”. “On the other hand, what we see is not very productive, it will probably be a different evaluation,” he said.

Kiev and its European allies fear that if the Trump administration goes away from peace talks, it will stop or reduce US military support to Ukraine, providing another battlefield to Moscow.

Zensky is closely coordinated with European leaders and joined Trump on Friday. During a visit to Rome on Sunday, European Commission president Ursula von der Lean said the next week would “be important” in an attempt to move the peace process forward.

The Ukrainian Air Force says Russia has launched its largest drone on Ukraine on the weekend, with the intention of weakening Ukraine before any peace talks, launched 20 explosive drones and decoys, Ukrainian Air Force reported.

Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, Gur, also warned on Sunday that Russia wanted to launch an RS -20 “Years” intercontinental ballistic missile training on May 7.

The agency says that this introduction is meant to “intimidate Ukraine” and this missile will be equipped with a training warhead. It says the range of missiles is 10,000 km and it will be launched from a site in the Serverdolovs region of Russia near the Ural Mountains.
