"Wants Nobel Peace Prize": Trump does not stop the war in Ukraine, but continues - The Telegraph
This was reported by the British edition of The Telegraph on Sunday, April 13, a week before Easter, to which Trump wanted to end the war. "It is clear that Trump is disappointed that Russia is inhibiting negotiations. It is also increasingly obvious that Trump is more concerned about the conclusion of any agreement with Putin than the specific content of this agreement or the consequences it will have for Ukraine," the statement said.
According to journalists, the Kremlin head showed few signs that he was ready to stop fighting or give way to his maximalist conditions for a truce, despite Trump's desire to sign a peace agreement for Easter and statement that negotiations with the parties continue and "have some success.
" "For Trump, a vanity person with weakness to pompous and ceremony, the symbolism of such achievement would be really appropriate - and perhaps he hopes, would bring the dreamy Nobel Peace Prize closer," the publication said. On Sunday, April 20, it should also be filmed exactly three months since Donald Trump returned to the White House, and the completion of the Russian-Ukrainian war should be a "great victory" for him.
However, the reality is that Trump has not become closer to "put Putin at the negotiating table," The Telegraph notes. At the same time, the US President still has "some cards" to force the Kremlin to go to the peace agreement.
"Undoubtedly, Trump still has some cards: he reports that he thinks of imposing sanctions against the Russian shadow fleet of illegal oil tankers, which are crucial to financing Putin's invasion for the last three years, if there is no ceasefire by the end of the month," the publication writes. It should be noted that these days the White House continued the sanctions against Russia for another year, trying to "press" Putin further. The focus learned about this on April 12.
