Washington DC: President Donald Trump of the United States expressed serious concerns regarding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, fearing it could lead to a potential “third world war.” At a press briefing on Friday, Trump drew attention to the rising human toll, revealing that around 25,000 soldiers perished just last month.
Voicing his frustration over the relentless violence and continuous bloodshed, he stressed the pressing need for a resolution. “I’d like to see the killing stop…for the most part, 25,000 soldiers died last month. I would love to see it stop. And we’re working very hard,” Trump articulated. He cautioned that if hostilities persist, it could lead to a larger global conflict, remarking, “Things like this end up in third-world wars. We don’t want to see that happen,” he emphasized.
Trump’s comments illustrate his exasperation as both parties remain entrenched in their positions, despite his assertions that he could expedite an end to the war. The US President, known for his eagerness to mediate a rapid resolution, has found himself largely sidelined, as diplomatic initiatives struggle to gain traction.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed Trump’s discontent, stating that the President is “extremely frustrated with both Moscow and Kyiv over the slow progress toward a truce.” Leavitt commented on Trump’s weariness with unproductive meetings, stressing that he is focused on tangible outcomes rather than mere discussions. “The President wants action. He wants this war to come to an end,” she affirmed, highlighting the administration's ongoing commitment to peace efforts.
Leavitt confirmed that the United States is actively engaging in diplomatic discussions, with Trump liaising with European leaders, while Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his team continue direct negotiations. “Literally as we speak,” she noted.
In addition to advocating for a ceasefire, Trump mentioned that the US is open to supplying security assistance to Ukraine as part of a comprehensive peace arrangement with Russia. However, he conveyed disappointment at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hesitancy to accept American proposals, which some in Kyiv perceived as overly lenient towards Moscow.
In the backdrop of these tensions, Zelensky recently proposed a referendum in the Donbas region, permitting residents to decide the fate of the territories. On the other hand, the Kremlin insists that Ukraine must withdraw its forces from the eastern regions, including Donetsk and Luhansk, territories that remain contested after nearly four years of conflict.
Under Trump’s leadership, the US has adjusted its military aid approach, allowing NATO allies to acquire American arms for Ukraine instead of providing direct military support. This strategy reflects the administration’s aim to balance backing for Ukraine while pressing for a negotiated resolution.
As the Russia-Ukraine crisis captivates global attention, international leaders are closely monitoring developments. Trump’s stark warnings underscore the critical need for urgent diplomatic efforts to avert the situation from escalating into a broader international crisis.
