Lavrov, in an interview with CBS, said that U.S. President Donald Trump &#8220;talks about an agreement, and we are ready to sign one, but some specific elements still need fine-tuning.&#8221; He added, &#8220;There are several indicators that show we are moving in the right direction,&#8221; amidst tense negotiations, particularly regarding the issue of Crimea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1941\">In response to questions about the new wave of airstrikes on Ukraine that occurred late Wednesday and Thursday, which left at least 12 dead and dozens injured in Kyiv, Lavrov stated: &#8220;We target only military sites or civilian locations used by the military.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;If it involves a target used by the Ukrainian army, the Ministry of Defense and commanders on the ground have the right to strike it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14118\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14118\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14118 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/123.jpg\" alt=\"US envoy Steve Witkoff meets with President Putin as Russia shows readiness to strike a deal with Ukraine\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/123.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/123-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/123-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. envoy Steve Whitcoff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"2700\"><strong data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"1986\">Trump&#8217;s Response and Pressure on Russia<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"2700\">On Thursday, Trump directed a sharp rebuke at Putin, telling him &#8220;Vladimir, stop!&#8221; following the new strikes on Kyiv. However, Trump also set a personal deadline to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pledging during his election campaign to end the war on his first day in office. Speaking to reporters at the White House ahead of a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/04\/21\/trumps-failure-to-secure-peace-the-ongoing-struggle-between-russia-and-ukraine\/\">Trump<\/a> said: &#8220;I have set a deadline for myself.&#8221; He later stated that the coming days would be critical for his efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia, though he did not provide further details. He and his aides expressed frustration with how Russia and Ukraine were handling his peace efforts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"3215\">Trump emphasized that he was putting significant pressure on Russia to agree to end the war in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/24\/escalation-in-ukraine-russian-drone-strikes-and-diplomatic-tensions-amid-u-s-mediation-efforts\/\">Ukraine<\/a>, asserting that Moscow would make &#8220;a very big concession&#8221; if it agreed not to control the entire country. &#8220;We are putting strong pressure on Russia,&#8221; Trump said. When asked about the nature of the concession, he replied, &#8220;Stop the war,&#8221; adding that &#8220;stopping the control of the entire country&#8221; would be &#8220;a very big concession&#8221; from Russia. He stressed that Ukraine must also be &#8220;willing to reach an agreement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3855\"><strong data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3290\">Kyiv Mayor: Ukraine May Have to Relinquish Land for &#8216;Temporary Peace&#8217;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3855\">In an interview with the BBC, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated that Ukraine may have to surrender some land to Russia in order to achieve a &#8220;temporary peace&#8221; with Moscow. Klitschko said in English: &#8220;One of the scenarios&#8230; might involve giving up some land. This is not fair, but for peace, temporary peace. It could be a temporary solution.&#8221; President Zelensky, who has previously been criticized by Klitschko, might have to accept a &#8220;painful solution&#8221; to end the fighting. However, Klitschko emphasized that Ukraine would &#8220;never accept occupation&#8221; by Russia.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12723\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12723\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12723 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ziliksisisi.jpg\" alt=\"Ukraine May Have to Relinquish Land for 'Temporary Peace'\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ziliksisisi.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ziliksisisi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ziliksisisi-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"3857\" data-end=\"4483\"><strong data-start=\"3857\" data-end=\"3929\">Zelensky: Russia Tried to Use Airstrikes as Cover for Ground Attacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3857\" data-end=\"4483\">Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported early Friday that Russian forces attempted to use intense airstrikes as cover for intensified ground assaults, but these attacks were repelled.
