Trump shifts ceasefire stance and urges Ukraine to agree Russia peace deal
Read Original Source
Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia's refusal to agree to a ceasefire is complicating efforts to end the war. "We see that Russia rebuffs numerous calls for a ceasefire and has not yet determined when it will stop the killing. This complicates the situation," the Ukrainian president said in a statement on X. On Monday, Zelensky will travel to Washington DC, where US President Donald Trump has said he will urge the Ukrainian leader to agree to a peace deal.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Trump has shifted away from a quick ceasefire and is now pressing Ukraine to accept a broader peace deal as the war with Russia continues.
Key Points:
- Trump said after meeting Vladimir Putin that a permanent peace deal is better than a ceasefire, because ceasefires often do not last.
- Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia keeps rejecting ceasefire calls, which makes ending the war harder.
- Trump is expected to urge Zelensky to agree to a deal when they meet in Washington, with Ukraine still demanding security guarantees and the return of children taken from occupied areas.
- European leaders backed talks that include Zelensky, but said Ukraine must decide on its own territory and borders should not be changed by force.
