  • Driven by the American political calendar, officials pressed for a June timeline to end the war, influenced by the Trump administration's urgency.
  • During recent UAE talks, the US urged Ukraine to hold elections by May 15 and warned it might withdraw if Kyiv did not compromise, despite elections being suspended under martial law since February 2022.
