German newspaper reports: President Trump is more concerned about Russia than Ukraine.
The German newspaper Spiegel suggests that, unlike Russia, Ukraine doesn't have much to offer President Trump.
According to RIA Novosti on April 24, the German newspaper Spiegel stated that, unlike Russia, Ukraine has virtually nothing to offer US President Donald Trump in the negotiations.
"The main problem facing Ukraine is that, unlike Russia, it doesn't have many interests to offer businessman Donald Trump," commented Spiegel on the US President's plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
According to Spiegel, Russia may talk to President Trump about the Middle East, China, Arctic oil, Iran's nuclear program and nuclear weapons, and Moscow always tries to present a positive political and business outlook.
"Meanwhile, Ukraine can only talk about Ukraine, about the Kremlin – that's all," Spiegel said.
Previously, talks on resolving the Ukraine conflict were scheduled to take place in London on April 23rd at the foreign minister level, including the UK, the US, France, Germany, and Ukraine. However, the meeting was postponed after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff canceled their attendance.
According to the New York Times, US representatives took this step because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky refused to recognize Crimea as belonging to Russia. According to Western media, this was one of the key conditions in President Donald Trump's plan to end the conflict.
At the same time, Vice President JD Vance stated that the U.S. would withdraw from the negotiations if Russia and Ukraine did not agree to U.S. initiatives to end hostilities. Vance added that the parties to the conflict should take final steps to end the fighting and freeze the border at a level close to its current state.
