“Zelensky has to want to end this war; if he doesn’t, I think it will be something very negative,” he said in response to questions about the meeting in Oslo between the Ukrainian leader and White House negotiator Steve Witkoff.

Trump stated that he “would like to see an agreement reached” and added that he believes “the immense hatred” between Zelensky and Putin is “to a large extent, the reason why they have not been able to reach an agreement” to end the war.

“We want Zelensky to reach an agreement; he can do it (…) Ukraine must have the will to make a deal, given that the United States has spent a fortune, just like Europe. Europe is already tired of all this, and if they don’t reach an agreement, in the long run, in my opinion, the situation is simply going to get worse,” he warned.

Trump also recalled that his country has delivered to Ukraine “hundreds of billions of dollars” in aid and weapons shipments. “We have received nothing in return, except a high price for diesel,” he repeated, referring to his accusations that Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy facilities have driven up fuel costs, which have soared for months due to the U.S. war on Iran.

His statements come after he signed a fuel purchase agreement with Russia and eased sanctions on Moscow, amid a sharpening of tensions between his administration and Zelensky, who has denounced delays in deliveries of Patriot interceptor missiles.

Added to this are the Ukrainian’s complaints about interruptions in the flow of U.S. intelligence and restrictions on connection to Starshield (the military satellite version of Starlink). Zelensky has attributed all of this to an alleged intention by Trump to force Ukraine to capitulate to Russia.

On Wednesday, Witkoff will travel to St. Petersburg to convey to Putin a proposal to relaunch peace contacts put forward by Zelensky.

Key developments on Oct. 20:

• Ukraine's HUR claims 108 Russian soldiers killed, 29 captured in Sumy Oblast operation
• Power outages in half of Ukraine's oblasts after Russian assault on power plants
• Fire at oil

President Volodymyr Zelensky has spent much of the past two years trying to win over Donald Trump. Flattery, constant meetings, and carefully calibrated concessions have become hallmarks of his dealings with the U.S. president.

But the strategy has failed, prompting Zelensky to change course and adopt a more confrontational

U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff will meet Russian officials in St. Petersburg on Oct. 21 to discuss European and U.S. proposals for peace in Ukraine, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said.

Vice President Vance said Ukraine is a “partner” but has some “divergent interests” from the U.S. amid tensions between Washington and Kyiv. “Well, they’re certainly a partner in some ways, but I think we, you know, have some divergent interests from time to time,” the vice president said in an interview with 2WAY, talking about…

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and Finnish President Alexander Stubb are also taking part in the talks.

As detenções aconteceram ontem, depois de não terem acatado as ordens da PSP. E ainda, Zelensky e Witkoff já estão em Oslo para discutir uma nova proposta  para pôr fim à guerra na Ucrânia.

"I am grateful for his readiness to help and his clear position," President Volodymyr Zelensky said after the conversation.

In Ukraine, few words carry as much weight — or as much political risk — as peace.

In early October, several prominent Ukrainian politicians publicly called for an end to Russia's war on terms many considered to be closer to the Kremlin's desires. Their proposals differed,

Il Presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, ha detto di essere pronto a mettersi attorno a un tavolo con Vladimir Putin e Xi Jinping per mettere fine alla guerra tra Russia e Ucraina, anche se non ci fosse il Presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky. “Li incontrerei per qualsiasi cosa io possa fare per porre fine alla guerra, che ci sia qualcuno presente oppure no. E loro vogliono davvero avere un incontro”, ha detto rispondendo alle domande dei giornalisti.

Trump ha invocato di nuovo una successione al Presidente ucraino, Volodymyr Zelensky. Quando gli è stato chiesto dai giornalisti cosa pensasse del commento di Zelensky, secondo il quale lui si era messo dalla “parte sbagliata della storia”, Trump ha risposto: “Zelensky non sa di cosa sta parlando. Zelensky è un uomo che avrebbe dovuto far finire questa guerra molto tempo fa. Adesso è ora che qualcun altro negozi per conto dell’Ucraina”.

Parlando in remoto con i senatori americani di entrambi gli schieramenti, il presidente dell’Ucraina Volodymyr Zelensky ha spiegato che le restrizioni Usa all’utilizzo di Kiev dei sistemi satellitari Starlink e Starshield, entrambi controllati da Elon Musk, stanno “ostacolando la capacità dell’Ucraina di abbattere i droni d’attacco russi”. È quanto riporta Axios. Zelensky ha rivelato ai senatori americani la mancanza di Patriot per contrastare gli attacchi russi. “Non ci sono praticamente più intercettori Patriot forniti dai nostri partner statunitensi”, ha detto. “Tutto questo lascia pensare che sia stata presa una decisione politica per rallentare il sostegno a nostro favore”, ha aggiunto Zelensky. “Vogliamo capire che cosa sta succedendo, perché sta succedendo e dove ci porterà tutto questo”, ha concluso.

The series of recent steps by the president that seem to favor Vladimir Putin reflect his intensifying desire to normalize the relationship with Moscow even if it means further undercutting Ukraine.
