OREANDA-NEWS French President Emmanuel Macron believes that the United States should help "convince Russia" to sit down at the negotiating table to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
"The United States of America must help us to change the nature of the situation and convince Russia to come to the negotiating table," Macron said during his speech. The broadcast was carried out on the page of the Elysee Palace in the social network X.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously launched initiatives for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine: Moscow will immediately cease fire and declare its readiness for negotiations after the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the territory of new regions of Russia. In addition, he added, Kiev should declare its rejection of intentions to join NATO and demilitarize and denazify, as well as adopt a neutral, non-aligned and nuclear-weapon-free status. The Russian leader also mentioned the lifting of sanctions against Russia.
After the terrorist attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Kursk region, Putin called it impossible to negotiate with those who "indiscriminately strike at civilians, civilian infrastructure or try to create threats to nuclear energy facilities." Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov later said that Moscow's peace proposals for a Ukrainian settlement, voiced earlier by the head of the Russian state, had not been canceled, but at this stage, "taking into account this adventure," Russia would not talk to Ukraine.
Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, promised that he would be able to achieve a negotiated settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. In addition, he has repeatedly stated that he will be able to resolve the conflict in Ukraine in one day. Trump has also repeatedly criticized the US approach to the conflict in Ukraine, and also called Vladimir Zelensky a "huckster" whose every visit ends with multibillion-dollar aid from Washington.
On December 22, Trump announced that he would wait for a meeting with the Russian president to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. He called the conflict in Ukraine "terrible" and reiterated that if he had been president of the United States instead of the current head of state Joe Biden, this conflict would not have happened. The Russian president said on a direct line combined with a press conference that he was ready to talk and meet with Trump, noting that if such a meeting took place, the two presidents would have something to talk about.
