'frustrated' as Zelenskyy 'moving in wrong direction' on peace talks, White
House says
Donald
Trump is frustrated with the pace of talks on ending the war in Ukraine and
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is going in the wrong direction when it comes to
negotiations, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters on
Wednesday.
The
president’s frustrated. His patience is running very thin. He wants to do
what’s right for the world. He wants to see peace. He wants to see the killing
stop, but you need both sides of the war willing to do that. And unfortunately,
president Zelenskyy seems to be moving in the wrong direction.

The day so far
Trump’s White House has attacked Volodymyr
Zelenskyy once again, accusing the Ukrainian president of “harming” peace
talks. Trump claimed earlier today to be “very close to a deal” and said
Zelenskyy’s stance on Crimea was “very harmful to the peace negotiations with
Russia”. Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that his country could not accept
recognising Crimea as Russian territory, amid reports suggesting Russia is
seeking a US recognition of Crimea in exchange for dropping its claims to three
Ukrainian regions it only partly occupies (vice-president JD Vance also said
earlier that Moscow and Kyiv would both need to agree to exchange territory if
they want to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine). White House press secretary
Karoline Leavitt said Trump is “frustrated” with the Ukrainian president, who
is “moving in the wrong direction”. Meanwhile, in a contrastingly softening
approach, US treasury secretary Scott Bessent said that high tariffs between
the US and China are not sustainable, as the Trump administration signaled
openness to de-escalating its trade war. Stock markets rose around the world
after Trump said his tariffs on China would come down “substantially” and he
had “no intention” of firing the chair of the US central bank, Jay Powell.
