Rome, April 26:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천President Donald Trump said Saturday that he doubts Russia's Vladimir Putin wants to end his war in Ukraine, expressing new scepticism that a peace deal can be reached soon. Only a day earlier, Trump had said Ukraine and Russia were 슬롯사이트œ very close to a deal." "There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,슬롯사이트 Trump said in a social media post as he flew back to the United States after attending Pope Francis' funeral at the Vatican, where he met briefly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump also hinted at further sanctions against Russia. 슬롯사이트œIt makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 슬롯사이트œBanking슬롯사이트 or 슬롯사이트œSecondary Sanctions?슬롯사이트 Too many people are dying!!!슬롯사이트 Trump wrote. The new doubts aired by Trump come as the president and top aides intensify their push to come to a deal to end the war that began in February 2022 when Russian invaded Ukraine.

The comments also sharply contrasted with Trump's positive assessment that the two sides were 슬롯사이트œvery close to a deal슬롯사이트 after his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, had met with Putin in Moscow on Friday. The Trump-Zelenskyy conversation on the sidelines of the pope's funeral was first face-to-face encounter between the two leaders since they argued during a heated Oval Office meeting at the White House in late February. That confrontation led to the White House to briefly pause US military assistance and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Days after ordering the pause, Trump also announced he was 슬롯사이트œstrongly considering슬롯사이트 imposing new sanctions and tariffs on Russia to try to prod Putin to negotiate in earnest. Trump has not yet followed through on the threat 슬롯사이트” something even some of his staunch Republican allies are now pressuring him to do. It's the second time a matter of days that Trump has rebuked Putin, whom the American president rarely publicly criticises. On Thursday, Trump publicly urged the Russian leader to 슬롯사이트œSTOP!슬롯사이트 after a deadly barrage of attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital.

After their brief meeting Saturday, Zelenskyy's office had said the US and Ukrainian teams were making arrangements for the leaders to talk again Saturday. But Trump went directly to the Rome airport after the funeral and boarded Air Force One for the 10-hour flight back to the United States. Zelenskyy's spokesperson, Serhii Nykyforov, said Trump and Zelenskyy did not meet again in person because of their tight schedules. Zelenskyy called it a 슬롯사이트œgood meeting슬롯사이트 on social media after the funeral. Trump Calls for Ukraine, Russia to Meet for 'very High Level' Talks, Says They Are Close to Deal.

슬롯사이트œWe discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out,슬롯사이트 he said on X. 슬롯사이트œVery symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results. Thank you." The White House called the discussion 슬롯사이트œvery productive슬롯사이트 and said it would release more details later. The meeting lasted about 15 minutes inside St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, where Francis often preached the need for a peaceful end to the war, just before Trump and Zelenskyy took their seats at the outdoor funeral service.

The Vatican long ago had offered to help facilitate peace talks and Francis had regularly called for peace and dialogue from the altar of the basilica. That Trump and Zelenskyy spoke privately, face to face and hunched over on chairs on the marbled floors of the pope's home, on the day of his funeral, was perhaps a fitting way to honour his wishes. Trump said on social media, after he arrived in Italy late Friday, that Russia and Ukraine should meet for 슬롯사이트œvery high level talks슬롯사이트 on ending the war.

Neither Putin nor Zelenskyy have commented Trump's calls for direct talks. Trump has pressed both sides to quickly come to an agreement to end the war, but while Zelenskyy agreed to an American plan for an initial 30-day halt to hostilities, Russia has not signed on and has continued to strike at targets inside Ukraine. Putin did not attend Francis' funeral. He faces an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, which has accused him of war crimes stemming from Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, in a statement Friday night, Zelenskyy said 슬롯사이트œvery significant meetings may take place슬롯사이트 in the coming days, and that an unconditional ceasefire was needed. 슬롯사이트œReal pressure on Russia is needed so that they accept either the American proposal to cease fire and move towards peace, or our proposal 슬롯사이트” whichever one can truly work and ensure a reliable, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire, and then 슬롯사이트” a dignified peace and security guarantees,슬롯사이트 he said.

슬롯사이트œDiplomacy must succeed. And we are doing everything to make diplomacy truly meaningful and finally effective.슬롯사이트 The meeting Saturday also came shortly after Trump had issued his most definitive statement to date about the need for Ukraine to give up territory to Russia to bring the war to a close. He said in a Time magazine interview published Friday that 슬롯사이트œCrimea will stay with Russia슬롯사이트.

Russia seized the strategic peninsula along the Black Sea in southern Ukraine in 2014, years before the full-scale invasion that began in 2022. Zelenskyy wants to regain Crimea and other Ukrainian territory seized by Russia, but Trump considers that demand to be unrealistic. Referring to Crimea during the interview, which was conducted at the White House on Tuesday, Trump said, 슬롯사이트œeverybody understands that it's been with them for a long time," meaning Russia.
