"Donald Trump has said Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn't ready to sign off on a US-authored peace proposal aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, at the end of three days of talks between Washington and Kyiv in Florida. I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn't yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago. His people love it, but he hasn't, Trump claimed as he spoke with reporters on Sunday night."
"In his comments on Sunday, Trump said Russia is, I believe, fine with [the deal], but I'm not sure that Zelenskyy's fine with it. His people love it. But he isn't ready. Russian President Vladimir Putin hasn't publicly expressed approval for the White House plan and last week said that aspects of Trump's proposal were unworkable. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Putin at the Kremlin last week but failed to achieve an obvious break through."
President Zelenskyy has not yet approved a US-authored peace proposal after three days of talks in Florida, and negotiations between US and Ukrainian officials ended without an apparent breakthrough. Zelenskyy described the discussions as constructive but not easy and planned further meetings with UK, French and German leaders in London to focus on continuing talks. UK prime minister Keir Starmer stressed that Ukraine must determine its own future and suggested a European peacekeeping force could guarantee security. US officials say they are close to a framework deal, but there is little sign either Ukraine or Russia will sign. Russian President Vladimir Putin called aspects unworkable, and US envoys met Putin without securing a breakthrough.
