Trump is growing impatient with Putin and Zelensky

In private discussions, Trump reportedly expressed his frustration and acknowledged that he had underestimated the depth of animosity between Putin and Zelensky, which he believed explained the slow pace of negotiations. While Trump had promised to end the war on his first day in office, weeks have passed with no clear outcome in sight.

According to a CNN source, frustration is starting to set in with the President, who is now privately admitting that a peace deal in Ukraine “has been more difficult than he anticipated” to negotiate.

In private discussions, Trump reportedly expressed his frustration and acknowledged that he had underestimated the depth of animosity between Putin and Zelensky, which he believed explained the slow pace of negotiations.

Trump is reportedly astonished by Ukraine’s refusal to accept the peace plan proposed by his administration, a plan that does not include any concessions from Russia, while demanding that Kyiv renounce the occupied territories and its NATO membership project.

Meanwhile, Russian bombing continues, including a recent strike on Kyiv that prompted Trump to post on TruthSocial: “Very bad timing”, before adding: “Vladimir, Stop!”.

Recently questioned by a journalist about Putin’s concessions, suggesting that his plan favored Russia, Trump replied that Putin’s real concession was to “stop the war” and not take over Ukraine in its entirety…

Since President Trump launched his mediation efforts, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has shown a willingness to consider a peace agreement, provided Ukraine’s sovereignty is respected. However, Russia has responded evasively, rejecting several American proposals and continuing its attacks, notably on Kyiv, which is complicating negotiations.
