'No concrete plan, no mediation': US warns Russia and Ukraine of impending exit from peace efforts

The US has warned Russia and Ukraine firmly to provide definite proposals to resolve the current conflict.As reported by State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, quoting as follows: "We are now at a point where concrete proposals must be brought forward by the two sides on how to bring this conflict to a close." If progress is not made, the US will retreat as facilitators in the process.

Trump's vow to end the war

US President Donald Trump had pledged to end the war within his first 24 hours back at the White House. But now, as Trump completes 100 days in office, it appears the administration could soon divert its attention to other issues. Rubio's remark suggests the US administration could soon reconsider its priorities.

Putin's wish for peace

During a recent ABC television interview, President Trump indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin still wants to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine. Putin had proposed a three-day ceasefire during Moscow's ceremonies next week to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. He, however, dismissed a US-supported Ukrainian appeal for a 30-day ceasefire.

US expectations

The US wants a full and permanent ceasefire, not an interim truce. Bruce quotes, "The United States wants not a three-day moment so you can celebrate something else -- a complete, lasting ceasefire and an end to the conflict." The US
wants a long-term solution to the conflict, not a quick fix.

Implications of the US warning

The US ultimatum to Russia and Ukraine has important connotations for the conflict. The withdrawal of the US as a mediator would create a situation whereby the conflict gets further escalated. The ultimatum also addresses the difficulties that come with mediating a intricate conflict such as the one being experienced in Ukraine, where different parties are concerned and interests have become entrenched deeply.

US warns to Russia and Ukraine

The US warning to Russia and Ukraine is a significant development in the ongoing conflict. The US is putting pressure on for concrete proposals in order to bring the war to an end, and if not, it will retreat as a mediator. The fate of the situation has not been determined, and it will be seen whether Russia and Ukraine heed the warning from the US or not.
