President Donald Trump delivers remarks in the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington, Monday, March 24, 2025. (Pool via AP)Donald Trump has accused Russia of “dragging their feet” over the Ukraine peace talks.The US has held separate discussions with Russian and Ukrainian delegates in Saudi Arabia this week, and persuaded both parties to agree to a new ceasefire in the Black Sea which would protect key shipping routes.But Vladimir Putin said he was only willing to accept the new deal if certain sanctions are lifted.The US president said he believes Putin wants to see an end to the conflict – which Moscow started with its 2022 invasion – but suggested they might be deliberately playing for time.“I think that Russia wants to see an end to it, but it could be they’re dragging their feet,” Trump told Newsmax last night.
