Trump Criticizes Zelensky as Ukraine Peace Talks Drag On with European Leaders

European Leaders Reaffirm Commitment

After a high‑profile meeting with several European heads of state, President Volodymyr Zelensky underscored that Ukraine’s position on its territorial integrity has not shifted. The European officials pledged continued political, military, and economic support for Kyiv as the war persists.

Trump Administration’s Push for Concessions

President Donald Trump has repeatedly urged Zelensky to ease Ukraine’s demands, arguing that a softer stance could accelerate peace negotiations. The White House’s pressure comes amid growing frustration in Washington over the prolonged stalemate.

Zelensky’s Firm Response

Despite the external pressure, Zelensky made it clear that any compromise on the country’s borders would be unacceptable. He reiterated that Ukraine will defend its sovereign territory and will not alter its core objectives in the ongoing conflict.
