U.S. President Donald Trump expressed hope for a swift end to the war, commenting on Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s statement about readiness for a ceasefire. In his statement, Trump noted that he had received information about positive developments in Russia and expressed hope that Putin and other leaders are ready to end this "nightmare."
"Putin made a very promising statement. I hope to meet and talk with him," — Trump said.
Putin proposed to cease hostilities, but with a number of conditions that may play a key role in further conflict resolution. One of the important points is the absence of conditions in Moscow’s demands that would be immediately rejected, such as the transfer of control over Ukrainian territories.
In the context of Putin’s proposal, many analysts believe that the situation could be a step towards possible negotiations. However, the reaction of the international community and Ukraine to these conditions is still unknown.
