US President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News that he will issue an important announcement regarding Russia next Monday, without specifying details.
Trump expressed his disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
This comes days after his statements expressing his desire to send more defensive weapons to Kyiv, accusing Putin of spreading 'nonsense' about the conflict and hinting at imposing new sanctions on Moscow.
Despite US pressure, negotiations between Russia and Ukraine remain stalled amid escalating fighting, with Ukrainian authorities accusing Moscow of trying to buy time while Russian forces continue to advance militarily on the frontlines.
In a related context, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Malaysia on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' meeting.
Rubio reported that Lavrov introduced a new idea or concept regarding the conflict in Ukraine, describing it as not a comprehensive plan but one that could open a path to a solution, and he mentioned that he will present it to Trump for discussion.
Rubio also confirmed that the conversation was frank, conveying the US President's frustration and 'disappointment' due to the lack of progress in ending the ongoing war since 2022.
Everyone is awaiting Trump's announcement on Monday amid expectations of surprises that may include tightening sanctions or new diplomatic initiatives, amidst escalating violence and stalled political solutions.
