“Zelinski wants an agreement, Putin stops shooting.”

Francesco de Remigis – Vatican City

After a confrontation with Ukrainian leader Foludmir Zellinski on Saturday in the Vatican, the US President, Donald Trump, appealed to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin:

Zelinski and Trump spoke to each other before the funeral mass by Pope Francis, and the arrangement of a second meeting, which did not happen in Rome. But diplomacy moved quietly during the weekend. Trump said, according to the American media, Zelinski was “quieter” and “wants an agreement.” Also from the Kremlin, the spokesman suggests that work for peace continues, explaining that the conversations necessarily need secrecy.

Crimean confession knot

During the conversation in San Pedro, which was immortalized through an image around the world, the two leaders had briefly discussed the issue of Crimea, and that the United States would be ready to recognize Russian based on the peace proposal that Zelinski already rejected.

During the night, Trump said he believed that, as part of an agreement to end the war, the Ukrainian leader could be ready to present the Crimea. Zelenski maintains caution in the result of the current process, noting that “the Russians often say they are ready to consider the US proposals, but their army did not prepare for real fire.”

Including accusations continue. Moscow claims to have demolished one hundred and fifteen Ukrainian drones over the territory of the Russian Federation. The US State Department says that the direct participation of North Korea in the war is concerned and that the military deployment of Pyongyang in Russia should stop.

Pyongyang admits that his army only participated in hostilities in Russia, noting that this is “completely in line with the provisions of the United Nations Charter and other international treaties.”

Meanwhile, diplomacy opens a qualified week as “decisive” by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to silence weapons with new contacts between the United States and Russia.
