President Donald Trump has suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin should negotiate a deal to end the conflict in Ukraine, stating that by not doing so, Putin risks damaging Russia. Trump has indicated his intent to meet with Putin, although no date has been set for such discussions. The ongoing conflict shows no indication of abating, as Ukrainian Air Force reports highlight continued missile and drone attacks by Russia.

During his campaign, Trump had claimed that he could rapidly resolve the conflict in Ukraine, suggesting he could achieve this within 24 hours of taking office. However, this has not materialized. Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, recently stated they aim to bring an end to the war within 100 days, which marks a departure from the earlier aggressive timeframes proposed by Trump.

There are concerns within Ukraine about Trump's potential approach to resolving the war. Some speculate that he might consider halting the supply of U.S. weapons to Ukraine or pressuring Ukraine to make territorial concessions to Russia without security guarantees. This would pose significant challenges given that the war started when Russia invaded Ukraine, and Russia has suffered extensive casualties. Any negotiations that might allow Russia to annex Ukrainian territories pose a moral dilemma, potentially signaling to other leaders that such actions are permissible.



Trump dice que Putin debe llegar a un acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra de Ucrania

El presidente dice que se reunirá con Vladimir Putin, y ha instado al líder ruso a llegar a un acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra en Ucrania. Escucha. Tengo que hablar con el Presidente Putin. Vamos a tener que averiguarlo. No puede estar encantado de que no le vaya tan bien. Quiero decir, él está moliendo a cabo, pero la mayoría de la gente pensó que la guerra habría terminado en aproximadamente una semana. Zelensky quiere hacer un trato. No sé si Putin quiere. Puede que no. No lo sé. Debería hacer un trato. Debería hacer un trato. Creo que está destruyendo a Rusia al no hacer un trato. Bueno, no hay fecha fijada para una posible reunión, aunque los combates en Ucrania no muestran signos de disminuir, con la Fuerza Aérea de Ucrania informando de que Rusia ha lanzado más aviones no tripulados y misiles durante la noche. Así que, uniéndose a nosotros ahora para más de la capital de Ucrania, Kiev, es CBS News corresponsal senior en el extranjero Holly Williams. Holly, ¿qué estás escuchando sobre el terreno ahora mismo de las fuentes y de la gente que con las que estás hablando? El presidente hizo campaña sugiriendo que podría poner fin a la guerra en Ucrania en 24 horas. Él solo podría hacerlo. No estamos más cerca de eso. Y ahora también dice que Vladimir Putin está arruinando Rusia. ¿Qué estás oyendo? Hola, Vlad. Sí, mira, durante la campaña, el presidente Trump lo hizo sonar muy fácil, ¿no? Dijo que podría terminar la guerra aquí en Ucrania rápidamente. Dijo que podría terminarla en 24 horas. Incluso dijo que podía acabar con él antes de tomar posesión. Y obviamente, eso no ha sucedido. Curiosamente, en los últimos días, hemos escuchado del enviado especial de Trump para la guerra en Ucrania, Keith Kellogg, quien dijo que ahora esperan terminar la guerra en 100 días. Eso es obviamente un marco de tiempo muy diferente. Pero lo que hemos visto en los últimos meses aquí en Ucrania resultado con toda esta charla de Donald Trump. Pero sin estos detalles sobre cómo pondría fin a la guerra, es esta creciente especie de marea de ansiedad aquí en Ucrania. Algunas personas se preocupan de que lo que Trump realmente significa es que iba a cortar el suministro de armas de EE.UU., que Ucrania realmente depende para defenderse. Otras personas aquí preocupados de que Trump tipo de presión a Ucrania a rendirse territorio a Rusia, tal vez incluso sin garantías de seguridad, para detener a Vladimir Putin vuelva a hacer lo mismo. Pero cuando se trata de la mecánica de cómo terminar la guerra aquí, es realmente complicado. Sabes, Vladimir Putin empezó esta guerra invadiendo a su vecino y le ha costado a Rusia cientos de miles de bajas. Pero Vladimir Putin ha puesto su legado en esta guerra. Así que si se retira de Ucrania ahora, es una humillación personal para él. Por otro lado, si en alguna negociación se permite a Rusia anexionarse partes de Ucrania, hay un verdadero riesgo moral. Envía un mensaje a Rusia, a Vladimir Putin y a los líderes afines de que ellos pueden salirse con la suya. Me pareció muy interesante ayer, el día de la inauguración, también escuchamos de Vladimir Putin y dijo que está abierto al diálogo con la nueva administración sobre el conflicto aquí en Ucrania. De acuerdo. Holly Williams para nosotros en Kiev esta mañana. Gracias, Holly.
