The Kremlin announced on Monday that it is working with the United States on potential peace efforts for Ukraine, despite President Donald Trump's recent outburst expressing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, criticized Putin's handling of negotiations and threatened to impose secondary tariffs of 25%-50% on buyers of Russian oil if progress toward peace is not made. “I want to see him make a deal so that we stop Russian soldiers and Ukrainian soldiers and other people from being killed,” Trump said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that talks between Moscow and Washington are ongoing, describing the process as complex and time-consuming. He also stated that Putin remains willing to engage with Trump and that further discussions could be arranged swiftly if necessary.
The U.S. president has reportedly grown increasingly impatient with Putin over what he sees as Russia’s insufficient commitment to securing a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump, who has often framed himself as a dealmaker and peacemaker, warned of potential escalation if diplomatic progress stalls.
The strained dialogue comes as Russia and the U.S. continue discussions on other matters, including rare earth metals and oil projects. Despite Trump's frustration, Peskov indicated that Russia remains open to constructive dialogue aimed at resolving the conflict.
Meanwhile, oil prices remained stable, with China and India—the largest buyers of Russian crude—seemingly unfazed by Trump’s tariff threats.
