Kremlin advices Trump to pressure Kiev
Peskov noted that Trump had voiced frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but said Moscow hopes equal pressure is being applied to Ukraine. “Ukraine seems to interpret every show of support as a green light to continue fighting, not to seek peace,” he added.
While Trump has publicly shifted between blaming both sides for the conflict, his latest remarks have focused more on criticizing Moscow. Back in May, Ukraine agreed to resume direct talks with Russia, reportedly in response to pressure from the Trump administration. However, the discussions quickly broke down, with Kiev later dismissing them as a symbolic gesture rather than a genuine diplomatic effort.
Moscow maintains that while it is committed to its strategic objectives in Ukraine, it still prefers a diplomatic solution. Meanwhile, Trump’s threats were welcomed by hardline figures in the West. US Senator Lindsey Graham implied possible military consequences, referencing Iran and recent US-Israeli airstrikes as a warning to Russia of what could happen beyond Trump’s proposed 50-day timeline.
