"We continue to work to ensure that they do not back down," Pistorius told ZDF. "It is about the US, the Americans, staying on board." Whether this will succeed remains to be seen. US President Donald Trump has threatened to abandon his peace efforts, the publication notes.
Addition
Trump has made efforts to mediate peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, which Russia invaded on a full scale in February 2022. Against this background, Russia and Ukraine held two rounds of direct talks in Istanbul for the first time in three years. The main result so far has been the exchange of prisoners. The parties also exchanged documents with a vision for a ceasefire.
