‘DISAPPOINTED’: Trump comments on Zelenskyy’s participation in ending war

2

From NY PostPresident Donald Trump said he is “disappointed” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who he said had not read the latest plan to end Russia’s war.

Trump’s criticism adds to mounting U.S. pressure on Kyiv as Zelenskyy met Monday with top European leaders, amid fears on the continent that Washington was pushing a peace deal that was favorable to the Kremlin.

Russia has not publicly supported a plan and has stuck to its hard-line demands, while Zelenskyy said Monday that negotiators were still split over the core issues of territorial concessions and security guarantees.

After flying to Moscow with a revised version of the proposal, Trump’s team held talks with Ukrainian officials in Miami, but the push from Washington has so far failed to find a breakthrough.


Trump told reporters Sunday that he was “a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn’t yet read the proposal.”

“His people love it. But he hasn’t. Russia is fine with it,” said Trump. “You know, Russia … I guess would rather have the whole country when you think of it. But Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I’m not sure Zelenskyy is fine with it. His people love it, but he hasn’t read it.”
