US EditionTrump says Zelenskyy, not Putin, is holding up a Ukraine peace deal
Trump claims Putin is willing to end the four-year conflict but Zelensky's reluctance on territorial concessions stalls U.S.-led peace negotiations, despite 30,000 monthly soldier losses, officials say.
- On Wednesday in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump told Reuters that Vladimir Putin is prepared to wrap up the nearly four-year invasion.
- In recent weeks, U.S.-led negotiations have focused on security guarantees for a post-war Ukraine, pressing abandonment of the Donbas region, while Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, rules out territorial concessions.
- U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have led talks involving Ukrainian officials, and Trump said he would meet Volodymyr Zelensky at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week but implied no plans were set.
- The remarks signalled renewed frustration between Donald Trump, U.S. President, and Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, as Trump said Ukraine is less ready to make a deal and gave no elaboration.
- U.S. intelligence warned in December that Vladimir Putin had not abandoned territorial aims, while some European officials doubted Moscow would accept recently hashed-out terms and Tulsi Gabbard disputed that report.

For Trump, Selenskyy is responsible for the stagnating peace negotiations. The Kremlin stresses that there is agreement. Of course, the situation for Kiev is getting worse.
