"Putin has disappointed me," Trump: Zelensky wants a deal, I think
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky

The meeting with Zelensky, held “in the most beautiful office I’ve ever seen, went well. He’s calmer, he wants a deal, and I think he’s ready to give up Crimea.” Russia, on the other hand, “surprised and disappointed him because they started bombing after the peace talks.” The day after the conversation in St. Peter’s, it was President Trump himself who gave his original interpretation, confirming all the rumors that had spread after the conversation that took place just before Pope Francis’ funeral.

And perhaps for the first time since the beginning of his new term, he is putting Putin in a difficult position. Trump seems convinced that the obstacle to peace is now the Kremlin leader, to whom he has offered a very favorable deal, which includes the possible handover of Crimea with Zelensky's consent, or at least the abandonment of its opposition. If Moscow does not accept it, the blame falls on it, and at that point the reaction of the head of the White House may become unpredictable.

Yesterday afternoon, leaving his New Jersey golf resort to return to the White House, Trump stopped to talk to reporters about Saturday's extraordinary event in St. Peter's, which he described as "the most beautiful office I've ever seen. It was a very beautiful scene." Zelensky, with whom he had clashed in the Oval Office, is "more relaxed." The president said the meeting "went well." Then he added: "Zelensky is doing a good job and wants a deal. He's asked for more weapons, but he always does that." When asked if the Ukrainian leader is willing to hand over Crimea, Trump replied: "I think so."

After the meeting in St. Peter's, the head of the White House had criticized Putin, saying that there was no reason to continue bombing civilians and threatening with new, tougher sanctions if he did not seriously negotiate for peace. Yesterday the president returned to this concept, giving the impression that he is really losing patience with the Russian rival, who has become the real obstacle to peace: "We will see what happens with Russia. I have been surprised and disappointed. Putin must stop shooting and negotiate." Then he warned the Kremlin leader, reiterating that there are many tools to push him to accept a serious and honest negotiation.

A few hours ago, it was Secretary of State Rubio who commented on the St. Peter's conversation, admitting that an agreement between Moscow and Kiev "is not there yet." When asked why the US is not punishing Russia, despite the frustration expressed on Saturday by Trump, Rubio replied: "We continue to hope that our effort will work and that the two sides will come closer. The moment we move to sanctions, we give up on diplomatic efforts and open the door to two more years of war, and we do not want that. There is no other country or institution in the world capable of bringing the two sides together." Therefore, "we do not want to walk away from something that can bring peace, but at the same time we do not want to waste time on something that does not work."

So “this week we will try to determine whether Russia and Ukraine really want peace, and how close or far they are, after about 90 days of trying. It’s complicated, but there are reasons to be optimistic.” National security adviser Waltz said Trump remains determined to use “both carrots and sticks to bring Russia and Ukraine to the table, and to achieve a permanent end to the war with a European-led security architecture.”

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, speaking to American television CBS, said that "Trump's statement mentions an agreement and we are ready to reach it, but there are still some specific elements that need to be perfected." But the head of the White House does not seem willing to wait any longer./LaRepubblica
