The Guardian view on US-Russian talks: Trump wants a deal, whatever it means for Ukraine | Editorial
Briefly

Donald Trump's recent comments about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggest that his administration is more focused on facilitating a peace deal with Vladimir Putin than on supporting Ukraine. Amid ongoing conflict, the US intends to acknowledge Crimea as part of Russia, despite Ukraine's refusal to accept this. Observers highlight Trump's hasty approach, aiming for a swift resolution he can boast about, which risks undermining Ukrainian territorial integrity and accountability for Russia's actions in the conflict.
Trump's latest attack on Zelenskyy and the US's last-minute snub of peace talks indicate a focus on deals with Putin rather than supporting Ukraine's sovereignty.
The US president, eager for a quick resolution to the war, risks surrendering crucial Ukrainian territories to Russia in exchange for a superficial peace deal.
