The United States withdraws its participation in the peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine," said a State Department typical on Thursday. This decision marks the end of the American mediator function in the ongoing conflict.
State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told journalists that the U.S. "will not act as mediator" in the subsequent stages of the talks, which, as she stressed, reflects president Donald Trump's increasing frustration due to the deficiency of advancement between Kiev and Moscow in ending the war.
– We will not fly all over the planet to mediate during meetings," noted Bruce. At the same time, it ensured that the United States remained active in efforts to find a lasting agreement.
Bruce stressed that the Trump administration felt increasing frustration with the attitude of Russian president Vladimir Putin, who, despite repeated declarations of readiness to talk, has not taken any real action to end the conflict.
More information soon.
