The United States will no longer act as a mediator in peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia , the State Department has confirmed, signalling a shift in Washington’s role in the ongoing conflict.

Tammy Bruce, a spokesperson for the department, said the US is changing “the methodology of how we contribute” to the
talks and will no longer “fly around the world at the drop of a hat” for meetings.

“We will continue to help, but we will no longer fly around the world as mediators in meetings,”Ms Bruce told reporters.

“Now it is up to the two sides, the time has come when they must present and develop concrete ideas on how to end this conflict. It will be up to them.”

US Vice President JD Vance has warned that the war in Ukraine is unlikely to end soon, saying it is now up to Kyiv and Moscow to reach a settlement.
Speaking to Fox News, Mr Vance said President Trump had brought both sides to the negotiating table, but that the US would no longer lead efforts to mediate peace.

“It’s not going anywhere… it’s not going to end any time soon,” he said. “It would now be up to them to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict.”

The comments come as the Kremlin expressed willingness for direct talks, but rejected a recent US peace proposal on the grounds that it did not grant international recognition to territory seized by Russian forces.

Ukraine, for its part, has consistently refused to recognise any Russian annexations, arguing that President Vladimir Putin must not be rewarded for invading its sovereign territory.

The announcement marks a significant change in the US approach to the war, following warnings that it would withdraw from its mediating role if no progress was made.

The State Department said on Tuesday that it would quit unless it saw “concrete proposals” from both Kyiv and Moscow on how to end the war.

It comes after Russia launched its biggest assault on Kyiv since July last year , killing at least 12 people and injuring 90, according to Ukrainian officials.

“It’s not going anywhere… it’s not going to end any time soon,” he said. “It would now be up to them to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict.”

After much grandstanding and puffing with threats of sanctions, the precursor has been gathering storm from failed promises to failed deliverables. For Trumpism, the optics are going from bad to worse. Any candidate who as much coveted Trumpism, is a recipe for disaster. So far, the Trump lites both in Canada and Australia have tasted humiliating defeats in the elections. Funnily, both incumbents in Canada and Australia who had had a dwindling fortune and on the verge of defeat leading to the election until Trump happened which automatically led to a dramatic change of fortune. The world, well, maybe the west are rejecting Trump and his endorsed candidates. That's fast, considering we are just into a little over the first quarter of his presidency.
At home, Trump recorded the lowest 100-day approval rating of any President in 80years.
I really wish he can turn it around as soon as possible.

The Putin that we know will most likely never pull out of the conquered territories and so the war continues.

The dirty game.

US can't control Putin, he has put them in their place just as Jagaban put the Cabal in their place.

Trump is a bad luck to them, Lol. Na God save that Argentina President, he also ride on Trump wave to win his election. He did it before Trump was sworn in and people's eyes never open that time. I swear if Argentina had their election today with this Trump bad luck everywhere, he will lose 100%.

Ukraine should settle the score with their big brother Russia. It's just family matter.

America want to enjoy some peace

It's time for peace - they should both embrace PEACE.

After Ukraine has signed minerals deals with the US. Well, it's up to both warring factions to forge a way forward

Trump acts as if he’s a superhuman, telling his ers during the presidential campaign that he’ll end the war before his inauguration without realizing how complicated the conflict truly is.

Russia has no intention of ending the war because its ultimate goal is regime change in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky believes he can turn the tide against Russia with the of the EU and the U.S., though this is practically impossible.

The only realistic way to end this war is for Zelensky to step down, and I’m sure Trump will soon advocate for exactly that.

Putin, sighs.

US and Ukraine have signed the mineral deal.

Putin will soon realize his mistakes.


You invaded a sovereign nation, seized part of their country once, did same twice in the guise of stopping them from ing NATO and some gullible Nigerians and others believed Putin's lies that he invaded Ukraine to stop them from ing NATO. But now that US President have made it clear that Ukraine cannot NATO, why can't Putin withdraw his cowardly troops being wasted in Ukraine's territories and allow the war to end?


Putin invaded Ukraine just to grab land and steal their precious minerals, it was never about stopping Ukraine from ing NATO and Donald Trump have seen the truth now and reason he is distancing himself from the negotiation and will probably start partial for Ukraine.

You want Ukraine to accept ceasefire agreement where Ukraine alone will be the ones to sacrifice huge while Russia sacrifices nothing but rather smile with joy after invading a sovereign nation on the lie and disguise of stopping them from ing NATO. The same Ukraine you invaded overnight without preparation, killed their civilians, children, women, elderly, soldiers, etc, destroyed their national infrastructures, wasted their national resources and annexed their lands for no solid reason should forfeit all their lands you forcefully took over, forfeit all their citizens and infrastructures you killed, displaced and destroyed in order to end the senseless, needless war you started while you go home with their lands filled with precious minerals after maiming Ukrainian lives and you expect their President and the rest of the world to clap for you because they call you Putin abi Russia. Honestly Putin is making me despise Russia that I once cherished


Take it from me, Putin will regret this war.


He will waste so many Russian soldiers and all the foreign countries he has been deceiving their Presidents to be supplying him soldiers and mercenaries will soon get tired and Putin will have no enough Russians ready to fight his foolish war of ego

True talk, comrade. Femisplash, you forgot , Trump couldn't influence the election in too. He has lost that aura, now the world see him as an orange clown.


-Kiss the truth!

Too bad

Sad. Electing a bad leader can cost you your life.

A man who came from nothing must never forget that he has nothing to lose at the end of the day. There’s no swag or a fresh way to chase your dreams. Hustle shameless til you build something.

After g the mineral deal with Ukraine Dem don throw Ukraine under the bus.

EU should step in. But they can't. They can't match Russia.

Finally, Russia has win the war!

I only understand that POTUS only seek world peace but on this occasion is like though if Zelensky remains the president of Ukraine, this may not be achievable.

I like Trump on many decisions but I don't understand where his headed with these matter

I'm shocked what's going on currently. Nobody dey send Trump at all. Look at what Houthis are doing to Isreal, see Putin killing more people in Ukraine and Trump couldn't do nada. It seems the world were even more scared of Biden because they didn't go ballistic this way when Biden was President. Trump na see finish.

He made the conservatives loose in Canada so I'm not surprised that conservative parties in most countries are staying away from him

Trump the Russian spy has done it again.

Israel can claim territories it won in conflict but Russia cannot? 😂

It's obvious Russia and Putin are not interested in peace.

Donald Trump is a big scam


After g a deal to take part of their natural resources

Trump is a such a huge disappointment. He keeps failing everywhere, everyday and in everything.

Americans that voted him are now in regret.

It's all a strategy. This withdrawal is a strategy. Give it some time. You'll see.

US just recently signed the mineral deal with Ukraine. That shows they now have more ground and connection with Ukraine more than before.

Putin was offering to give the mineral deal to Trump which is mostly in the territory occupied by Russia. When Trump was pushing for Ukraine to sign the deal, Putin made a counter proposal to Trump. Which he did not give much attention to.

This announcement to me, is just bad for Putin.

It's a strategy.

Noted.
