The White House has admitted that the Easter truce in Ukraine promised by US President Donald Trump will not happen. Instead, the American leader's administration is growing frustrated with the negotiation process. This is reported by The Telegraph.
According to the publication, several White House officials admitted that Trump will not be able to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine by April 20.
Sources say the Trump administration is growing increasingly frustrated with the Kremlin's delaying tactics, and the White House is preparing to pressure Moscow and Kyiv to reach a peace deal.
Failure to end the war would be a serious blow to Trump, who repeatedly stated during the election campaign that he could end the fighting "in 24 hours," The Telegraph adds.
And while American officials have privately expressed their dissatisfaction with Kyiv's negotiating stance for weeks, its reluctance to reach a mineral deal with Washington and advance peace talks, in recent days, sources say, Washington has been growing increasingly dissatisfied with Moscow.
In a series of phone calls and meetings over the weekend, White House and State Department officials acknowledged that Putin was actively resisting Washington's efforts to reach a lasting agreement, and discussed what economic and diplomatic sanctions could be imposed on Moscow.
