Bruce explained that the US is changing the approach and methodology to negotiations on the Russian-Ukrainian war. The spokeswoman stressed that the White House is devoted to the issue of peace, will help in the future and do "everything it can. " At the same time, Americans will not be mediators in negotiations, as Ukraine and the Russian Federation need to meet and start talking about how to end the war, the State Department representative said. "We will not be intermediaries.
We are definitely committed to this and we will help. But we are not going to fly around the world to be intermediaries at meetings that are now happening between the two sides. Now is the time when they need to present and develop specific ideas about how this conflict will end. " The State Department spokeswoman answered the question of whether US President Donald Trump plans to impose secondary sanctions against the Russian Federation.
According to her, the head of the White House "stated his willingness to do so" and the previously imposed restrictions will not be canceled. Bruce voiced Trump's position who would like to "do it diplomatically. " At the same time, the United States remembers that there is "the rest of the world, a whole globe that needs some attention," the official said.
It should be noted that on April 18, US State Department Secretary Marco Rubio announced that the White House could leave the end of the war if they did not see a quick result. Rubio gave Ukraine and the Russian Federation for several days to provide clear proposals for negotiations, otherwise Trump will do other cases that require attention.
Following the statement of the Head of the State Department, a meeting was held in London, at which the delegation of Ukraine and Europeans made proposals to a plan of peaceful settlement proposed by Trump. Among the proposals is the refusal to recognize the occupation of Crimea and other four regions and the abandonment of the army restriction.
On April 27, a statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared about a three-day truce in the Russian-Ukrainian war, which will last from May 8 to May 10. The Kremlin's head does not indicate how they will monitor the ceasefire. At the same time, the Russians reserved the right to restore the shooting if they seem that Ukrainians have broken the conditions.
