Trump said he is not setting "any deadlines" for peace agreement
US President Donald Trump has stated that the United States is not setting any deadlines for the conclusion of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
He said this after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Mar-a-Lago, according to Censor.NET.
No deadlines
According to the US president, he currently has no deadlines.
"But there will be a security agreement, and it will be a 'strong agreement'," he stressed.
"We are in the final stages of negotiations. Either it will end, or it will continue for a long time. Millions of people will be killed, and no one wants that," the US president said.
"For Ukraine , this (peace plan, ed.) also brings great economic benefits. They have a lot to rebuild, and it can bring in a lot of revenue. And they have great potential for that," Trump said.
Trump emphasised the priority of ending the war and noted the efforts of the Ukrainian side in preparing the agreements. He stressed that the main deadline for him is to "end the war" because, in his words, too many people have died.
Regarding the security agreement, Trump promised that the agreement would be "strong" and that European states would take an active part in protecting Ukraine and implementing the agreement.
