Donald Trump says he is very disappointed by Russia and believes that President Vladimir Putin should stop shooting and reaching an agreementaccording to what is reported by the American media. Volodymyr Zelensky is “calm” and “wants an agreement,” said the US President After meeting the Ukrainian leader in San Pietro. A meeting that “went to Well “https://gazzettadodelSud.it/articoli/mondo/2025/04/28/trump-deluso-dalla-russia-putin-dMetta-d i-supare-e-tratti-e-e -zeky-vuole-a-content-e4a3a7ac-032c-4bc7-A399-85a8ae7d8f3b/. “Zelensky He is doing a good job and wants an agreement.
“I think so”. Trump thus replied to those who asked him if Zelensky is willing to yield Crimea in his opinion as part of an agreement for the end of the war. “Crimea was sold years ago, without a shot of firearm shot. Ask Obama,” Trump highlighted.
San Pietro is “the most beautiful office I’ve ever seen. It was a very beautiful scene”added Trump referring to the meeting with Zelensky on the sidelines of the funeral of Pope Francis.
The face to face between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump in the Basilica of San Pietro, strongly supported also by the Holy See, has given hope to Ukrainians to obtain a peace that is not a surrender, but the path continues to be full of unknowns. At this stage Kiev relaunches the appeals to the partners to push Moscow to accept at least a respite, while the Kremlin tries to keep the Americans tightly ensuring that on the solution of the conflict the positions are “coinciding in many points”, while the Ukrainians and the Europeans want to go sideways.
In Washington, however, this stall is experienced with growing impatience. And now the new request to the conflict parties is to accept mutual concessions within the next week. The talks between Zelensky, Trump and the leaders of the willing will, on the sidelines of the Pope’s funeral, have somehow redirected the diplomatic pressure towards Russia. So much so that the same American president, in the return flight from Rome, let himself go to an unusual outburst towards Putin, accusing him of “making fun of” peace efforts with his raids on civilians, and threatening new penalties.
Moscow tried to dodge these arrows by remarking the distances inside the transatlantic block. He started the spokesman for Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, ensuring that work with the Americans continues, “in a discreet and not in public way”. And remembering the convergences between the two powers, starting from the idea that Crimea is Russian and that Kiev will never enter NATO. Serghiei Lavrov then thought about strengthening the concept. The Foreign Minister accused the Europeans of “wanting to transform, together with Zelensky, the peace initiative of Trump into an instrument to strengthen Ukraine”, in spite of the ideas of the White House. Moscow, in particular, counts that the territorial claims of Kiev, as well as the security guarantees, do not affect Washington much.
Ukrainians on the contrary want to recompact their allies. Zelensky, although the surrender in Kursk, admitted that the situation at the front is difficult for the incessant Russian raids and stressed that the enemy insists on “ignoring the United States proposal of a complete and unconditional fire”.
