Zelensky Reportedly Sought Tomahawk Missiles from Trump, Aiming for Negotiations with Putin

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky requested Tomahawk missiles from former U.S. President Donald trump during a recent meeting at the United Nations General Assembly, according to reports citing multiple sources. Zelensky reportedly framed the request as a means to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table for peace talks.

Following the meeting, Zelensky stated that Trump had agreed to consider his proposal for supplying long-range, winged missiles. The specific type requested appears to be the Tomahawk, which boasts a range of 2500 kilometers and carries a 450 kg warhead – considerably exceeding the capabilities of similar long-range weaponry currently provided to Ukraine by Western allies.

U.S. Secretary of State Marko Rubio reportedly advised European colleagues to view TrumpS altered stance on Ukraine “as positive as possible,” according to sources within diplomatic circles. Rubio also indicated that Trump expressed importent frustration with Putin’s lack of response to his attempts to resolve the conflict, which has been ongoing for three and a half years.

It remains uncertain whether Zelensky’s request for Tomahawk missiles will be fulfilled. A similar request was previously denied by former President Joe Biden as part of Zelensky’s ten-point “victory plan” presented towards the end of Biden’s presidency.

Trump Advisors Reveal Ukraine Peace Deal Remains Months Away – BNN

Trump’s ukraine ⁢Peace Plan ⁤Faces Reality Check: Months,⁤ Not Days, to ‌Resolve Conflict

⁤

President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers have conceded‌ that resolving the war in Ukraine will take months or ‍even‍ longer, ⁤a stark⁤ departure from his pre-election promise ‌to strike a peace agreement on his first day in the White House. ⁢This shift ⁣underscores the complexity of the conflict and‍ the ⁤challenges of building a new management, as reported by ⁣ Reuters.

Trump’s next Russia-Ukraine envoy, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg,announced on fox News that his goal is to find a “solution” to the war within 100 days. However, former US ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst, now⁣ at the Atlantic Council⁣ think tank⁢ in Washington, called this timeframe‍ “too, too optimistic.” ‌herbst emphasized that “For ‌this to work, Trump ⁤needs to convince (russian President Vladimir) ‌Putin that his intransigence is negative.”

Before⁣ winning the election on November 5, Trump repeatedly claimed he would reach a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia on his first day of work. He has as relented, now saying he will “resolve” the conflict without setting a timetable and admitting it ⁣might very well be more difficult than achieving a ceasefire in Gaza.‌ “I think the Russian-ukraine situation is actually going to ⁢be more elaborate,” Trump said when‌ asked about Gaza at a press conference in December.

Russia has expressed interest in talks with‍ Trump but has rejected some of his advisers’ ‌proposals as unrealistic. The Kremlin has refused⁤ to comment, and representatives of Trump’s future administration or the Ukrainian embassy ‍in⁢ Washington have not yet ⁤commented⁤ on the updated schedule of Trump’s team.⁤

Russia has⁣ made important progress on the battlefield in recent months,tho ‌at a ‍huge ⁤cost in troops and material. Many⁤ analysts say putin has reason to⁢ be‌ slow⁤ to reach an‌ agreement as he seeks‌ to gain control‍ of more of Ukraine.Herbst pointed to comments made earlier this month by Russia’s U.N.⁣ ambassador,Vassily Nebenzia,who said ⁤the peace plans offered by trump ‍advisers were “nothing interesting.”

While the exact contours of trump’s peace plan are still being debated, the Trump team ⁤is considering a plan that would suspend Ukraine’s membership in‌ NATO and freeze the battle lines.⁤ Advisers also support providing security guarantees to Ukraine, such as a demilitarized zone monitored ⁢by ⁤European troops.

so far, the ‌Trump team’s efforts to end the war have failed, highlighting how campaign promises ⁣can clash with the complex realities of diplomatic negotiations. Kellogg, Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, postponed a visit to Kyiv aimed ⁢at supporting peace plan efforts.‌ Ukraine’s ⁤Foreign⁢ Ministry linked it to US‌ concerns about violating ‌the Logan Act, which restricts the right of private‍ individuals to negotiate with foreign governments.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate ⁣to⁣ meet ⁢with (Putin) until the 20th, which I don’t ⁣like as peopel‌ are being killed every day — many, many young people are⁢ being killed,” Trump said at a news‌ conference ⁤last week.

Meanwhile, incoming Trump administration⁢ officials at the ⁣State Department, National Security Council, and other bodies are still determining who is responsible for various geopolitical issues, one of Trump’s foreign policy advisers told Reuters.

It is indicated that the increase in revenue compared to 2022 is due to the renewal of rent payments.

“There were no other significant changes in assets, real estate, vehicles, etc. in 2023,” the report said.

Tensions Rise as Polish Transport Workers and Farmers Block Border Checkpoints, Talks with Ukraine Stalled

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 24, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Polish truck drivers and farmers have blocked border checkpoints in recent months, complaining about what they say are unfair competition and agricultural imports from Ukraine. The blocking of the border has caused tension between Kyiv and Warsaw.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmyhals offered talks and visited the border today, but Poland did not send a representative. So far, lower-level talks have been held, but without success.

The head of Tusk’s office, Jan Grabec, said that the two sides are far from an agreement and so far no solution has been found that would satisfy Poland or Polish farmers. “Unfortunately, so far there is no offer from Ukraine that would allow us to hope to break the deadlock,” he added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sent Shmyhal to the border in hopes of ending a standoff that he said has delayed the delivery of aid and weapons to Ukraine.

“Unfortunately, the Polish government officials did not come, but we publicly addressed them, presented our proposals and will continue this work,” declared Shmihals.

Asked why Polish officials had not arrived, the head of Tusk’s office said meeting at the border “doesn’t make sense right now.” “There are no mutually satisfactory solutions and it is not useful to hold a meeting to confirm that there is no compromise,” he added.

The Polish Prime Minister announced on Thursday that the two countries will hold talks in Warsaw on March 28 and that the ministers of the neighboring countries have been in contact.

Davos 2022: Global Leaders Address Ukraine Crisis and Middle East Tensions

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 12, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The 54th annual meeting in Davos will be attended by approximately 2,800 participants, including more than 60 heads of state and government.

The war between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and the war in Ukraine are expected to be the focus of the forum.

The event will also be attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang and Middle East leaders, as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who participated in the forum remotely in previous years.

On Sunday, a day before the start of the forum, a meeting dedicated to Ukraine is planned, where security experts and high-ranking officials from about 70 countries will gather. It will be the fourth meeting on Zelensky’s proposed “peace formula” for Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government wants to use these discussions to gain support for its peace plan, which provides for the withdrawal of all Russian forces from the occupied territories of Ukraine, including the Crimean peninsula, as well as guarantees for Ukraine’s future security. It is also expected that Russian leaders will have to take responsibility for their role in the invasion. Russia has rejected the plan and was not invited to previous meetings.

The president of the forum, Berge Brende, pointed out that this time the event “takes place against the most complicated geopolitical and geoeconomic background in recent decades.”

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani and Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Hassauna will also participate in the forum.

“We know that the war in Gaza is still ongoing and there are fears of further escalation,” Brende said. “At Davos, we will bring together the key stakeholders and look at how to avoid further deterioration of the situation and discuss what will happen next,” he added.

Since the beginning of the war between Israel and “Hamas” on October 7, concerns about the emergence of a wider conflict in the region have grown.

Ukrainian President Condemns Russian Aggression and Warns of Further Invasions During Visit to Lithuania

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

“We will do everything in our power. We must do it with maximum unity to achieve our goal – so that there is no more empire,” said the Ukrainian president.

He listed Russia’s crimes in Ukraine: aggression against Ukraine, dreams of humiliating the Ukrainian people, massacres, deportation of children and adults, undermining the foundations of Ukrainian culture.

“They are brutally torturing people. They are holding thousands of people captive, torturing them just to take revenge for the fact that Ukraine exists. This is the level of Russian evil,” said the Ukrainian president.

“If such a catastrophic day comes – the day after Ukraine -, Russia will do everything so that the day after Moldova comes, and then the day after the Baltic States, the day after Poland, the day after many others. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are already hearing that Russia does not respect them independence,” Zelensky listed. “Russia’s desire to manipulate everyone is obvious. Now it is dangerous to remain silent, to stand aside or to be alone,” he said of the Kremlin regime’s intentions.

The gathering was also addressed by the President of Lithuania, Gitans Nausėda, who said that today he had “the honor to shake the hand of a man who in recent years has experienced many difficulties, upheavals and challenges as the leader of a warring country. At the decisive moment, he stood up without hesitation and fought against the invaders “.

Nausėda reminded that Ukraine has been defending the dignity of its country for ten years without a break.

“Dear Volodymyr, thank you for what you do, thank you for being there. I want you to know that Ukraine’s determination to defend freedom inspires us here in Lithuania and encourages us to cherish and strengthen it even more,” said the Lithuanian president.

It has already been announced that on Wednesday Zelenskis made an unannounced visit to Lithuania, and then he will also go to Estonia and Latvia.

Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in 2014, occupying part of the country’s eastern territory and the Crimean peninsula. Battles for the territory in the east of Ukraine continued for eight years until on February 24, 2022, Russia began a repeated invasion of Ukraine.
