Trump Says Zelenskyy Should Get Somebody Else to Negotiate to End War

Trump said a trilateral summit with Russia and China could help end the war, while Kyiv warned Ukraine must be included in any talks.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump stated that someone other than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should negotiate on Kyiv's behalf to end the war, reiterating his Oct. 10 call for Ukraine to replace the president.
  • The president's remarks followed reports of Zelenskyy's disapproval regarding recent Russia-friendly actions, including waived sanctions and disrupted Starlink services, which Trump blamed for continued conflict.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed talks regarding a potential trilateral meeting between Russia, China, and the American administration, a proposed summit that would notably exclude Ukraine.
  • Sen. Dick Durbin , co-chair of the Senate Ukraine Caucus, stated that any negotiations must include Ukraine, arguing that the country's freedom is not for President Trump to sell out to Putin and Chinese President Jinping.
  • Trump told reporters that Russia has been "fine" regarding Ukraine, noting "They haven't been doing much," as he signaled openness to any summit ending the war regardless of Ukraine's participation.
