Trump could exit Ukraine talks

World 13:56 27.05.2025

US President Donald Trump is considering a complete withdrawal from the Ukraine peace process due to a lack of progress, the New York Times reported on Monday, citing sources. The US leader, however, is reportedly reluctant to tighten sanctions against Russia.

Trump appeared to express the sentiment following a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week as he spoke with several European leaders, the NYT reported.

During the conversation, Trump shared his impression that “Putin thought he was winning the war and would press his advantage,” according to officials briefed on the matter. They also reportedly indicated that Trump “made it clear he had no intention on putting pressure, much less harsh economic sanctions, on Russia.”

“He said, essentially, ‘I’m out,’” an NYT source claimed. At the same time, the paper would not say whether Trump, who has been skeptical of US aid to Ukraine and has yet to approve new assistance packages, might be willing to continue military support for Kiev.

Trump, who has described the Ukraine conflict as “Europe’s war,” was shocked by Moscow’s unwillingness to change its key terms of resolving the crisis, according to the NYT. Russia has insisted that any sustainable peace must include guarantees of Ukraine’s neutrality, its demilitarization, denazification, and recognition of the new territorial reality on the ground.

A separate Wall Street Journal report also claimed that Trump is increasingly frustrated with the peace process and may abandon it entirely if current efforts fail. The paper suggested that the US leader is eyeing new sanctions against Russia, although no final decision has been made.

The reports come after Trump claimed that Putin “has gone absolutely CRAZY,” rebuking Moscow for firing “missiles and drones… into cities in Ukraine for no reason whatsoever.”

Moscow said its recent strikes targeting Ukrainian military-related facilities were retaliation for a significant increase in Kiev’s drone raids into Russia. Russian officials reported near-daily interceptions of over 100 Ukrainian UAVs, suggesting that the strikes are meant to derail the peace process.

Responding to Trump’s remarks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the start of the negotiation process is a “very important moment which is fraught with emotional overload” on all sides. He also stressed that Putin makes decisions “required for the security of our country,” while praising the efforts of the Trump administration to broker an end to the conflict.
