Topics
Vladimir Putin: 我拒绝了由特朗普斡旋的90天停火提议，因为俄罗斯军队在战场上取得了进展，我认为现在停火不符合我们的利益。 Marco Rubio: 如果俄罗斯拒绝停火，我们将知道和平的障碍是什么。我对停火持谨慎乐观态度，但谈判非常困难，我们比一周前更接近和平。 Donald Trump: 我与普京的讨论非常顺利，战争有可能结束。我相信通过谈判，我们可以达成协议。 Kate Batchelder-Odell: 普京并不想达成协议，他提出了许多条件，包括乌克兰放弃北约成员国身份和更多领土。他认为通过战场上的优势，他可以获得更多谈判筹码。 Kim Strassel: 普京在拖延特朗普，以争取更多战场优势。他愿意结束战争，但前提是满足他的所有要求。特朗普可能会对普京施加压力，包括实施更严厉的制裁和增加对乌克兰的军事援助。
