Trump Threatens U.S. Exit from Ukraine Peace Talks

The United States, led by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has warned it will withdraw from mediating Russia-Ukraine peace talks if significant progress is not made within days. Trump emphasized that both Russia and Ukraine must be willing to compromise, stating the U.S. would disengage if negotiations remain stalled. Recent deadly Russian attacks, such as a missile strike on Sumy, have heightened urgency for a diplomatic solution. Russia has rejected recent U.S. ceasefire proposals and is demanding Ukraine abandon its NATO ambitions and cede territory, while both sides accuse each other of violating earlier agreements. The uncertain U.S. stance has increased concerns about potential escalation should talks fail. Despite the deadlock, Trump remains optimistic about a resolution but insists U.S. involvement will end if talks prove fruitless.
