Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of mocking U.S. President Donald Trump’s goodwill in ceasefire negotiations following Russia’s intensified missile strikes on Ukraine. Sikorski made the remarks Monday during a European Union foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg, as tensions escalate over Moscow’s continued aggression.

“I hope that President Trump and the U.S. administration see that the leader of Russia is mocking their goodwill, and I hope the right decisions are taken,” Sikorski said, referencing Russia’s recent deadly attacks on Ukrainian cities Kryvyi Rih and Sumy.

Deadly Strikes on Ukraine

The accusations come after a series of devastating missile attacks in Ukraine. On April 4, Kryvyi Rih suffered a Russian strike involving cluster warheads, killing 19 people, including nine children. Just days ago, on April 13, Sumy endured a double ballistic missile attack that left at least 34 dead and 119 injured. The strikes occurred despite Ukraine’s agreement to a U.S.-proposed ceasefire over a month ago—a move Russia rejected, citing unresolved issues.

Sikorski described these attacks as a “mocking response” to peace efforts led by the U.S., which has sought to broker a resolution to the conflict. “Ukraine unconditionally agreed to a ceasefire over a month ago. The heinous attacks on Kryvyi Rih and Sumy are Russia’s mocking answer,” he said12.

Trump’s Ceasefire Push

President Trump has made resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict a cornerstone of his administration’s foreign policy. In March, his team negotiated a fragile 30-day ceasefire aimed at reducing hostilities. However, Russia refused to honor the agreement unless foreign military support to Ukraine was halted—a condition Kyiv deemed unacceptable.

Trump condemned the Sumy attack as “horrible” but stopped short of directly criticizing Putin. The president suggested the strike might have been a “mistake,” though he did not elaborate further. His administration has faced mounting pressure to take stronger action against Moscow amid criticism that its diplomatic overtures have emboldened Russian aggression.

International Reactions and Calls for Action

Sikorski’s comments have reignited calls within the EU for tougher sanctions on Russia. “Putin is mocking Trump,” an EU diplomat told reporters Monday, underscoring frustration over Moscow’s disregard for international peace efforts Security analysts have also warned that Trump may need to adopt a firmer stance against Russia if diplomatic measures continue to falter.

Michael Clarke, a defense analyst, suggested that Trump’s pursuit of a peace deal may now be untenable. “There was a sense that Easter was going to be a time when [Trump] wanted some sort of deal, that he wanted to be a peacemaker. That’s obviously not going to happen now,” Clarke said.

A History of Complicated Relations

Trump’s relationship with Putin has long been scrutinized for its complexity. During his initial presidency, Trump often praised Putin’s leadership while pursuing diplomatic engagement with Moscow. Critics argue this approach has undermined efforts to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Despite these challenges, Trump has remained optimistic about his ability to broker peace in the region. He has repeatedly claimed he could end the war swiftly but has yet to provide specifics on his strategy914. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have expressed skepticism about Trump’s understanding of the conflict and his willingness to confront Russian aggression directly.

The Path Forward

As civilian casualties mount in Ukraine, international pressure is growing for decisive action against Russia. Sikorski urged Trump and his administration to recognize Putin’s provocations and respond accordingly. “I hope the right decisions are taken,” he emphasized Monday.

With diplomacy faltering and violence escalating, the question remains whether Trump will shift his approach or continue pursuing negotiations with Moscow—a path critics have likened to “a deal with the devil”. For now, Ukraine continues to bear the brunt of Russia’s aggression as world leaders grapple with how best to intervene.
