Washington: US State Secretary Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that he hoped that Russia would offer a Ukraine ceasefire outline within days to offer a Ukraine outline, if it is serious, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zalenski accused Moscow of buying time.President Donald Trump spoke separately by Telephone on Monday to Zelansky and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, when Russian and Ukrainian officials met in Istanbul for their first direct conversation over the struggle in three years in Istanbul on Friday.Putin has consistently rejected the 30-day trustees’ proposals by Kiev and her western colleagues.But Rubio said that Putin and Russian External Affairs Minister Sergei Lavarov indicated that he would present his terms “perhaps in several days, perhaps hope this week.”Rubio said that Russian “would only offer wide words, which would allow us to move towards a ceasefire, and that the ceasefire would allow us to enter a detailed talks to bring about the end of the struggle.”He said the presentation “will tell us a lot about his real intentions.”“If it is a term sheet that is realistic and you can work away from it, it’s one thing. If it makes the demands that we know that there are unrealistic, I think it will be a sign.”Following Trump’s call, Putin said that he was ready to work with Ukraine on a “memorandum”, who underlined a potential roadmap and various positions to end the war.And Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Tuesday that Pope Leo XIV was ready to host the upcoming discussions between the parties in the Vatican. “ ‘Trying to buy time’ Rubio insisted with important MPs that Putin has “not a single concession” from Trump. But Russia has also not indicated any new flexibility as Trump took over with a pledge to end the war through dialogue in January.“It is clear that Russia is trying to buy time to continue its war and business,” Zelancesi said in a post on social media.The top Democrat of the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, Jean Shaheen, told Rubio that despite the desire to meet both Zelanski and Trump, Putin refused to go to Istanbul, “he believes that he believes that it is to fulfill this war in Russia’s interest.”The European Union formally adopted its 17th round of sanctions on Moscow on Tuesday, targeting 200 ships of Russia’s so -called shadow marine fleet.Kiril Dimitriv, the head of Russia’s direct investment fund and head of the economic negotiator along with Washington, attacked the move, saying: “Western politicians and media are making Titanic efforts to disrupt the creative interaction between Russia and the United States.”Rubio said that Trump now opposed the new sanctions with fear that Russia would no longer come to the table.Moscow is full of confidence, his soldiers to move forward on the battlefield and end the western separation of Trump Kremlin.The memorandum mentioned by Putin “purchases time for Russia,” said Russian political analyst Contantin Kalachev.He said, “The termination of enmity is not a condition for this, which means that Russia can continue its aggressive,” he said.In February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine and since then destroyed the Swaths of the country, killed tens of thousands and now controlled one-fifth part of its territory. Trump is not a ‘Messiah’ Those who talked to AFP used to doubt about the possibilities of peace in both Kiv and Moscow and thought that Putin-Putrap calls did not bring them closer.Retired teacher Victoria Kesiliova said in Kiev, “I never had any faith in him and now I have no one.”Vitali, a 53 -year -old engineer of Kiev, said that Trump was not a “Messiah” and that his flare of diplomacy had changed very little. Ukrainian political analyst Volodimier Facenko said that Trump’s latest calls had only added uncertainty.He said, “This conversation not only failed to clarify the future of the talks, but also confused the situation.”He said that Trump had “dropped as a cover to continue and intensify the war” to try to use Putin’s talks.In Moscow, there was disregard and confidence. 70 -year -old former engineer Marina said, “I am confident that we do not need these talks. We will win anyway.”
