MOSCOW, July 29. /TASS/. The US is pushing for a settlement to the Ukrainian conflict, while Kiev shows no willingness to de-escalate tensions with Russia; Israel is trying to derail any peace efforts between the US and Iran; and Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza is potentially progressing. These stories topped Wednesday’s newspaper headlines across Russia.
Media: Zelensky meets with Trump to talk Ukraine peace amid escalating conflict
The US is discussing options for restarting peace talks on the conflict in Ukraine, but Kiev shows no willingness to de-escalate tensions with Russia.
On July 28, when former South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (who was on Russia’s list of terrorists and extremists) was officially laid to rest, Vladimir Zelensky held talks with US President Donald Trump that he said focused specifically on a diplomatic settlement. In reality, however, Ukraine is expanding the scope of its terrorist attacks and lobbying for yet another round of anti-Russian sanctions. The US Senate has tentatively approved a bill that would allow for the imposition of 100% trade tariffs on Russian oil buyers. Meanwhile, a new corruption scandal involving the embezzlement of Western aid is unfolding in Ukraine.
