Trump '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.
