Trump calls on Selenskyj to peace - Ukraine remains steadfast!
President Donald Trump sees progress on the way to a possible peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. According to a report by Radio Herford Allegations to extend the war with provocative statements. Trump criticizes that Ukraine did not fought for the annexioned Crimea earlier and warns Selenskyj against losing further areas should no peace negotiations get going.
Selenskyj clearly rejects Trump's line. He vehemently emphasizes that Ukraine cannot do without Crimea and is obliged to act according to its constitution. At the same time, he confirms that Ukraine expects the USA to support its decisions. In view of repeated Russian drone attacks on Kiev, in which at least two people died and many others were injured, Selenskyj calls for an immediate, complete and unconditional fire break as the first step.
Russian attacks and geopolitical tensions
On April 23, several explosions were reported in a ammunition camp east of Moscow, which may have been caused by Ukrainian drone attacks. In the middle of this tense situation, Wladimir Putin Trump offers, as in op-online reports, a stop of invasion in Ukraine. At the same time, there are reports of a “final offer” from the USA to Ukraine for an armistice that includes the recognition of the Crimea as a Russian territory. This triggered concern in Ukraine that such an offer could bring Russia significant benefits.
Meanwhile, the military actions continue. Russian drone attacks on the Ukrainian city of Odessa violate several people and damage civilian infrastructure. Military activities in Mariupol also increase, where two new Russian military base points were built. The Kremlin sees the responsibility for negotiations on a ceasefire at Ukraine and demands the annexation of another four regions.
international diplomacy and peace talks
On April 23, in London, talks about a ceasefire between representatives of Ukraine, Great Britain, France and the USA took place without specific results. Selenskyj regards these conversations as crucial for peace and bilateral relationships.

Selenskyj's office chief sets clear priorities by demanding an immediate fire break. These developments indicate an intensive diplomatic exchange, which is characterized by challenges, but nourishes hope for progress in the negotiations. It remains to be seen whether these efforts lead to a stability peace treaty. The geopolitics around Ukraine remains complex and fragmented, with an unclear outcome in sight.
