“President Trump is obviously very frustrated with President Zelenskyy, the fact that he did not come to the table, that he was not willing to take this opportunity we offered,” Waltz told reporters on Thursday at the White House, press Brifing. “I think in the end it will reach that point and hope so quickly.”
“It is certainly not in the interest of Russia or in the interest of the American people in this war to be caught forever and forever,” Waltz said. “So the key part of his conversation was helping President Zelenskyy to realize that this war must end.”
Vice President Jd vance On Thursday, he also defended the decision of Trump’s administration to meet with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia, despite the frustration from Ukraine that it was absent from these meetings. Vance emphasized that communication with Russia is crucial to the progression of the agreement and said that he believes that Europe is the first time after three years of “the summit of peace”.
“How are you going to end the war if you don’t talk to Russia?” Vance said at a conservative conference on political action near the capital of the state. “You have to talk to everyone involved in the fight. If you actually want a conflict to bring the end.”
In the meantime, US officials also met with Ukrainian officials on the Peace Agreement, and Kellogg said in a post on Wednesday that the US remained dedicated to ending the war and finding a way to establish “sustainable peace”.

In the meantime, the US has signaled interest in creating some Russia’s requests for the Peace Agreement in recent days, and Trump has said on Wednesday to believe that Russia is the one who has “a little ticket because they took a lot of territories.”
Since January, Russia has taken control of about 18% of Ukraine territory, according to the Washington Research Center based in Washington. Trump’s Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsetth He said on February 12 that it was not realistic that Ukraine would regain his pre -war borders with Russia, which prompted criticism that Ukraine was forced to concessions.
“Putin will do this and ask for more,” said Brett Bruen, director of global engagement under former President Barack Obama, Fox News Digital on February 13th said.
In addition, now they have suggested that the elections be supported in Ukraine – a key condition for Russia to agree to the peace agreement.
Almost a year after Zelenskyy’s five -year mandate was supposed to end, Zelenskyy remained in his position led by Kiev because the Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections under martial arts. Ukraine has been under a martial art of February 2022.
However, Russia was not the only executive pressure to force Ukraine to maintain the election, Trump said on Tuesday at his Florida MAR-a-Lije Florida estate.

As a result, the hands of Zelenskyy can be tied and there may be no other possibilities except to surrender in concessions, said Trump’s former deputy advisor to national security KT McFarland.
“If President Zelenskyy will leave this and somehow say,” I am against any agreement with Russia, I am against any agreement with America. “Really?” McFarland said on Thursday in an interview with Fox Business Network “Morning with Mary”.
