\"US<\/p>\n

A U.S. government working group that formulated strategies for pressuring Russia into peace talks and ending the war in Ukraine has been disbanded by the White House, Reuters reported on June 17.<\/p>\n

Officials cited by the news outlet<\/a> said it was established this spring but became increasingly irrelevant as it became clear U.S. President Donald Trump wasn’t willing to apply any concrete pressure on Moscow during peace talks.<\/p>\n

“It lost steam toward the end because the president wasn’t there. Instead of doing more, maybe he wanted to do less,” an anonymous official said.<\/p>\n

As Ukraine<\/a> and the U.S. continue to push for an unconditional ceasefire, Russia has maintained maximalist demands and rejected all such proposals.<\/p>\n

At the same time it has escalated attacks on Ukrainian civilians, killing at least 15 people and injuring scores of others in the latest attack on Kyiv<\/a> overnight on June 17.<\/p>\n

Trump has expressed frustration<\/a> with Moscow’s intransigence and growing violence but has yet to impose any new sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n

On June 16 while speaking in Canada ahead of a G7 summit, Trump said barring Russia from the G8 for its invasion of Ukraine in 2017 had been a “mistake.”<\/p>\n

According to Reuters, the working group, staffed by officials from the National Security Council, State Department, Treasury Department, the Pentagon and intelligence community, was decimated in a purge of personnel around three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Trump pledged to “stop the wars<\/a>” when he was elected U.S. president for the second time but after just five months in office, the world is a far more violent place.<\/p>\n

As well as Russia escalating attacks on Ukraine, Israel and Iran are now locked in a conflict that further threatens stability in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
