Trump Piles Pressure On Zelenskyy To End The War Putin Started In Bizarre Truth Social Rant

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy the last time the Ukrainian visited the the White House in February.Donald Trump has piled pressure on Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the war in Ukraine – even though it was started by Russia’s invasion of his country more than three years ago.In a bizarre rant on his Truth Social platform, the US president said the Ukrainian leader “can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to”.Trump said Ukraine must give up any hope of regaining Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, and said Kyiv should also give up on its ambition of joining Nato.His tirade came as he prepares to meet Zelenskyy in the White House later today.The last time the pair met in the Oval Office six months ago, the Ukrainian president was ambushed by both Trump and his deputy, JD Vance.Trump’s comments will be warmly welcomed by Vladimir Putin, who held talks with his American counterpart in Alaska on Friday.Russia is vehemently opposed to Ukraine’s aim of becoming a Nato member.Putin told Trump that he wants Ukraine to give up the Donbas region of Ukraine as the price of any peace deal.According to the Reuters news agency, that would see Kyiv fully withdraw from the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in return for a Russian pledge to freeze the front lines in the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.Trump said after the summit that he and Putin “has largely agreed” on land transfers and security guarantees for Ukraine.In another win for the Russian president, Trump also U-turned on his previous calls for a ceasefire in the war before a full-blown peace deal.But speaking in Brussels on Sunday, Zelenskyy said that was unacceptable.He said: “We have to stop the killing. Putin has many demands, but we do not know all of them, and if there are really as many as we hear, then it will take time to go through them all.“It’s impossible to do this under the pressure of weapons, so it’s necessary to ceasefire and work quickly on a final deal. Putin does not want to stop the killing, but he must do it.”On Russian demands for Ukrainian territory, Zelenskyy said: “The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land. ”Related...Trump Writes Post About Moscow That's Absurd Even For HimVolodymyr Zelenskyy Delivers Blunt Message To Donald Trump After His Ukraine War U-TurnTrump Performs Major U-Turn As He Urges Zelenskyy To Do A 'Deal' With Putin To End The War
