US-Ukraine Conflict Enters Critical Stalemate Phase Under Trump's Deadline with Rubio and Medvedev's Warning

Published on 4.23.25

  The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has been a pressing concern for international relations, with US President Donald Trump seeking a swift resolution to the crisis. Despite his efforts, progress has been slow, and Trump has threatened to withdraw from negotiations if no deal is reached within days. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that sides have only a short window to demonstrate progress before Washington abandons its pursuit of a settlement. Russian official Dmitry Medvedev approved the US assessment, stating that if no progress is made, the US will "wash its hands" of the issue. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed Trump's deadline as an "exercise in futility," but acknowledged some progress, citing a temporary moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure. US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff is set to visit Moscow this week, marking his fourth trip since Trump took office.
