Polish foreign minister says Ukrainians have given Trump a credit of trust

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has stated that Ukraine aims to "accelerate certain processes" in the US-led diplomatic efforts to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Details: According to Sikorski, his Ukrainian sources have expressed gratitude to the United States for de-escalating the situation, which could pave the way for American negotiations with Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin. However, he noted that "this goes against the canons of diplomacy".

"According to the established canon, first, a confidential channel of communication is opened, the intentions of the other party are clarified, then some means of trust are built, and the leaders only bless the agreement that is almost ready," said the Polish foreign minister.

US President Donald Trump, he added, has his own "personal style".

"But Ukrainians tell me that this creates hope for the acceleration of certain processes that they hope will lead to a lasting peace. So they are giving Donald Trump the credit of trust here," Sikorski said.

Background:

• Following the talks in Saudi Arabia on 23-25 March, the US, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ban on attacks on energy facilities, but this arrangement has had no practical effect. Russia continues to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine will prepare evidence of Russia's violation of the energy ceasefire and provide it to the United States, expecting a response.
