Donald Trump has been in office for more than two months and the penny may be beginning to drop in the White House that trying to end a conflict as bitter and complex as this may take time.

There are many reasons for the slower progress than Team Trump may have anticipated.

The Russian president has made it clear he does not intend to be rushed, writes Andrew Hammond .

The US has yet to sign the agreement, hoping again to improve the terms, possibly by including access to or even ownership of Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

It would not have got to this stage without Trump 's pushing, but progress has not been as quick or simple as he believed.
