Zelenskyy says Trump's call to freeze current frontlines is 'good compromise'

  • On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed US President Donald Trump's proposal to halt fighting on current frontlines, saying `I think that was a good compromise, but I'm not sure that Putin will support it, and I said it to the president`.
  • After an announced summit, US plans were put on hold when European allies and Ukraine opposed a ceasefire requiring Kyiv to cede territory, and US President Donald Trump said he shelved the Budapest meeting to avoid a "wasted" encounter.
  • Russian officials offered a different read, saying preparations for a presidential summit with Trump are continuing Wednesday, while European leaders accused Putin of stalling and warned Russia was not "serious about peace".
  • A senior Ukrainian official said Trump pressured Zelenskyy to consider ceding Donbas and denied Tomahawk missiles during tense Friday talks.
  • With diplomacy sputtering, the conflict remains a war of attrition as military analysts say Russia holds a fifth of Ukrainian territory with tens of thousands killed and both sides using long-range strikes.
