Volodymyr Zelenskyy Delivers Blunt Message To Donald Trump After His Ukraine War U-Turn

Trump, Zelenskyy and Putin.Volodymyr Zelenskyy has delivered a blunt message to Donald Trump after the US president dropped his demands for a ceasefire in the Ukraine war.Trump’s dramatic U-turn came after he held talks with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.In a post on his Truth Social platform, he said: “It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.”But speaking in Brussels on Sunday following talks with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, Zelenskyy – who will travel to Washington for his own meeting with Trump tomorrow – rejected that idea.The Ukrainian president 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.”Zelenskyy’s comments came after it was confirmed that European leaders, including Keir Starmer, will join him at the White House for his talks with Trump.The surprise move is an attempt to provide the Ukrainian leader with support and avoid a repeat of his last visit to Washington, when he was ambushed in the Oval Office by Trump and his deputy, JD Vance.Among those who will be in attendance is von der Leyen, who delivered a warning of her own to Trump by insisting that “international borders cannot be changed by force”.That was a reference to reports that Putin told Trump that he wants Ukraine to give up its sovereign territory as the price of any peace deal.According to the Reuters news agency, the proposed deal 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.He told Fox News: “I think we’re pretty close to a deal. Ukraine has to agree to it. Maybe they’ll say ‘no’.”But Zelenskyy said today: “The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land. ”He said any such moves would need to be discussed at a three-way summit involving him, Putin and Trump.“If Russia refuses, then new sanctions must follow,” he added.
