Trump accuses Zelensky of harming peace talks

The Ukrainian leader’s refusal to discuss any territorial concessions prolongs the conflict, the US president has said

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky could lose the entirety of his country if he continues stalling talks with Russia, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.

A day earlier, the Ukrainian leader publicly announced that Kiev will not even discuss officially recognizing the Crimean Peninsula as Russian. Washington was reportedly ready to present the idea as part of its peace plan at a meeting with Kiev officials and Ukraine’s European backers on Wednesday, only for the top members of the US delegation to pull out at the last minute.

“This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago,” Trump wrote.

The situation for Ukraine is dire – He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country.

Trump reiterated his prior assessment that Zelensky has a weak bargaining position in the negotiations. “We are very close to a Deal, but the man with ‘no cards to play’ should now, finally, GET IT DONE,” he wrote.
