Ukraine Invasion

President Trump has changed his approach to the Ukraine conflict, no longer seeking an immediate ceasefire but instead supporting a peace deal that aligns with Russian President Vladimir Putin's position. This shift follows a meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska, which marked the end of Putin's international isolation and included discussions on potential agreements to end the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is preparing for a meeting with Trump in Washington, amid calls for the U.S. to strengthen sanctions on Russia if Putin does not agree to a trilateral meeting. Observers note concerns that Trump may pressure Zelensky to accept terms discussed with Putin, as Zelensky receives guidance on handling the upcoming negotiations.

Trump se alinea con Putin y prefiere la paz al alto el fuego

Esta noche, una nueva división en el impulso para poner fin a la guerra en Ucrania, como el presidente del país se dirige a Washington el lunes para una conversación cara a cara con el presidente Trump. En un gran cambio, el presidente regresó hoy a Washington, abandonando su demanda de alto el fuego en la guerra de Ucrania, y diciendo a sus aliados que el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin quiere territorio para un acuerdo de paz permanente. Rusia invadió Ucrania hace casi cuatro años, apoderándose de grandes zonas del país. 400.000 ucranianos habían muerto o resultado heridos, junto con casi un millón de soldados rusos. Torian Small de la CBS está en la Casa Blanca esta noche, y nos dirige. Torian, buenas noches. Buenas noches, Jerica. Esta noche, el presidente da marcha atrás, diciendo que ya no está buscando un alto el fuego urgente en Ucrania, sino que ahora está de acuerdo con el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin que la búsqueda de un acuerdo de paz es la mejor manera de poner fin a la guerra. El presidente Trump golpeó los greens un día después de desplegar la alfombra roja en Alaska para el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin, el momento marcó el fin de años de aislamiento de Putin en la escena mundial. Es evidente que tarde o temprano tuvimos que enmendar la situación para seguir adelante de la confrontación al diálogo. Tras las casi dos horas y media charla a puerta cerrada con el presidente ruso, Trump presumió de progresos. Hubo muchos, muchos puntos en los que estuvimos de acuerdo. La mayoría de ellos, yo diría, un par de los grandes que aún no hemos conseguido. Pero terminaron su aparición conjunta después de 12 minutos. La próxima vez en Moscú. Sin preguntas ni detalles. Sr. Presidente. Zelensky en las redes sociales animó a los EE.UU. a reforzar las sanciones contra Rusia si Putin no se compromete a una reunión entre los tres líderes. En declaraciones a Fox News, Trump dice que el siguiente movimiento es de Zelensky. Ahora depende realmente del presidente Zelensky. Sam Vinograd es un colaborador de seguridad nacional de CBS News. Y ciertamente hay preocupaciones que dirigiéndose a la reunión de la Oficina Oval entre Trump y Zelensky el lunes, que Trump intentará intimidar al presidente Zelensky para que acepte los contornos del acuerdo que negoció con el Presidente Putin. CBS News ha aprendido Presidente Zelensky ha estado recibiendo un montón de entrenamiento sobre cómo interactuar con el presidente Trump desde su desastrosa reunión en el Despacho Oval en febrero. Jerica. Torian Small informando desde la Casa Blanca. Gracias a todos.
