The United Kingdom and France have urged the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to demonstrate that he wants a peace agreement with Ukraine, before the conversations between Putin and Donald Trump on Tuesday.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, praised the “courage” of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenksy, by accepting a high fire proposal, and challenged Russia to do the same.
“Tales deaths. Destances were destroyed. Sufficient destruction. Weapons must shut up,” Macron said in an X.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, David Lammy, said that Putin should agree with a “full and unconditional fire now”, telling parliamentarians that he had seen “without a signal that Putin took a peace agreement seriously.
He warned that the United Kingdom and its allies have “more letters that we can play” to help Russia negotiate “seriously.”
The White House sounded a more optimistic note on the eve of Trump-Poutin conversations, which will take place by phone, saying that peace in Ukraine “has never been closer.”
White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt told journalists on Monday that Trump was “determined” to ensure the peace agreement.
On what the conversations could cover, he said: “There is an energy plant that is on the border of Russia and Ukraine that was under discussion with the Ukrainians, and he will address it in his call with Putin tomorrow.”
The installation is likely to be the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, the largest in Europe. It has been occupied by the Russian forces since March 2022, and the fears of a nuclear accident have persisted due to the fight in the area.
When he was asked on Sunday what concessions were being considered in the negotiations of Alto el Fuego, Trump said: “We will talk about the Earth. We will talk about the electric power plants (…) We are already talking about that, dividing certain assets.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on what leaders would discuss, responding: “We never do that.”
While Putin has previously said that he supports a high fire, he also established a list of conditions to achieve peace.
One of the containment areas is the western region of Kursk in Russia, where Ukraine launched a military incursion last August and captured some territory.
Russia had pressed to recover it in recent weeks, and Putin now says he is completely back in Kursk control.
He has also raised numerous questions about how the fire could be monitored and monitored along the first line in the east, and has said that he would not accept NATO troops in the territory.
The peace proposal on the table was discussed by Ukrainian and American delegates in Saudi Arabia last week.
After hours locked in a room, they announced proposals for a high 30 -day fire, which Ukraine said he was ready to accept.
The president of France, Macron, and the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who met on Tuesday, emphasized that his nations would continue his “unwavering” support for Ukraine and demand “clear commitments” of Russia.
