Trump ‘extremely frustrated’ with both Kyiv, Moscow over war

Ukrainian revised 20-point counter-proposal adjusts a US 28-point plan favoring Russia amid stalled negotiations over Donetsk, Donbas, and Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Trump says talks lack progress.

  • Following reports that US President Donald Trump set a December 25 deadline, Washington is pressing Kyiv to accept a U.S.-backed peace framework critics say favours Moscow.
  • White House officials say the president is pushing for action, with Karoline Leavitt noting Trump's frustration and more than 30 hours spent in talks involving Steve Witkoff and European leaders.
  • After the leaked 28-point plan widely seen as favoring Russia, Kyiv submitted a revised 20-point counter-proposal this week while the U.S. plan calls for Ukrainian troops to withdraw from parts of the Donetsk region into a proposed 'free economic zone'.
  • Zelenskyy insists Ukrainians must decide through elections or a referendum, with a vote possible in 60 to 90 days if security guarantees are in place, and criticizes unilateral withdrawals in Donetsk.
  • The proposals also carry wider security consequences, as Trump's plan to freeze the front in Zaporizhzhia could aid Moscow, while Europe and NATO officials warn a fair settlement is vital for Euro-Atlantic security amid Russian advances in Kharkiv and Dnipro.
