Ukraine: Trump Says There Are Still 'Very Thorny Issues'

US President Donald Trump admitted that there are still “very thorny issues” in talks to end the war in Ukraine, speaking to reporters while welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. He described his earlier communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin as “very good,” adding that he was recently informed about reports of a Kyiv attempt to strike Putin’s residence in Novgorod with drones. Trump’s statement underscores the complexity of the situation in Ukraine and the existence of significant disagreements between the parties involved. Despite the “good” communication with Putin, unresolved issues remain that hinder the achievement of a peace agreement. The information about the possible drone attack adds another layer of tension to the already strained situation. Confirmation or denial of this information is expected to have significant implications for international relations and efforts to restore peace. Overall, Trump’s statement and the reference to the drone attack demonstrate that resolving the crisis in Ukraine remains a difficult and uncertain process.
