Trump suggests Ukraine shouldn't have fought back against Russia
:"Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal." [1评]
特朗普的公开信，也可以说是最后通牒：I'm not looking to hurt Russia.I love the Rssian people,and always had a very good relationship with president Putin-and this despite the Radical Left's Russia,Russia, Russia HOAX.We must never forget that Russia helped us win the second world war,losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process.All of that being said,I'm going to do Russia,whose Economy is failing,and president Putin,a very big FAVOR.Settle now,and STOP this ridiculous war!IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.If we don't make a"deal",and soon,I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxs,Tariffs,and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.Let's get this war, which never would have started if I were president,over with! We can do it the easy way,or the hard way-and the easy way is always better.It's time to "MAKE A DEAL."NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!为什么特朗普要公开信，特朗普要告诉普丁，也要告诉习近平，，信里的大写，标点符号都有含义，普丁看明白了，习近平也看明白了，

俄罗斯总统普京表示，俄方已准备好就乌克兰问题进行谈判，包括与美国对话，但乌方正在阻碍谈判进程。
拉夫罗夫质疑乌克兰领导层合法性
另外，俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫在俄罗斯2024年外交成果发布会上说，俄罗斯未见到乌克兰及西方国家采取任何实质性举措，为和平谈判作准备。拉夫罗夫说，乌克兰与西方国家在行动上并未表现出真正致力于和平谈判的迹象。相反，西方持续向乌克兰武装力量提供军事援助，关于乌克兰领导层合法性的争议仍悬而未决。
美国总统特朗普日前向俄罗斯总统普京喊话，要求尽快达成俄乌战争停火协议，惟未获对方实质回应。特朗普周三加大施压力度，严厉警告指若普京拒绝停火，美方将向俄罗斯徵收高额关税。

特朗普又说，结束这场战争有两种方法——简单的方式和艰难的方式，前者显然更符合各方利益，强调自己与普京一直保持著「非常良好的关系」，不想这状况出现改变。
特朗普在周一曾表示，他将会与普京进行电话对话。而据纽约邮报等美媒报道，特朗普已指示俄乌特使凯洛格（Keith Kellogg）在100天内促成战争结束。
