Trump hinted at optimistic developments regarding peace talks between Ukraine and Russia

Is serious progress really possible in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine? Don't believe it until you see it, but maybe something good is happening.

President of the United States
The day before, Trump publicly criticized the leadership of Ukraine and Europe for opposing his peace plan.
The Ukrainian leadership has not expressed any gratitude for our efforts, while Europe continues to buy Russian oil. The US continues to sell huge amounts of NATO weapons for transfer to Ukraine.
An unnamed US official who spoke to The Washington Post described the information Trump is aware of:
You tell him (Trump — ed.): "I'll try to make a deal." He says: "Great, see what we can do." And that's all the information he has.
In addition, this official spoke of the "chaos" that reigned in the American administration.
There was absolute chaos all day because even the different departments of the White House don't know what's going on. It's shameful.
Following the talks in Geneva on November 23, Ukraine and the United States prepared an updated and revised framework document for peace, which will, in particular, address respect for Ukraine's sovereignty.
