Trump Warns Deadly Kyiv Strike Could Undermine Peace Process
US President Donald Trump stated that a recent Russian missile strike on an apartment building in Kyiv, which resulted in 24 deaths, could significantly hinder ongoing efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement in the war. Speaking to journalists aboard Air Force One while returning from China, Trump noted that prior to the attack, prospects for ending the conflict appeared promising. He confirmed that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping share a desire to see the fighting end. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the site of the destruction, laying red roses and demanding punishment for Russia. In related diplomatic developments, Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to meet with Xi Jinping in China soon to discuss bilateral relations and international issues, including Trump's recent visit. Additionally, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz held discussions with Trump regarding the war. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently acknowledged a loss of momentum in peace negotiations but affirmed the US commitment to mediation if circumstances allow.
