His people love it, but he doesn’t,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters before participating in the Kennedy Center Honors. And he added: “I think Russia agrees, but I’m not sure Zelensky is okay with it. Its people love it. But he’s not ready.”
Trump’s criticism of Zelensky comes after US and Ukrainian negotiators concluded three days of talks aimed at reducing differences over the US Administration’s proposal. However, the Republican president now once again suggests that the ukrainian leader is the one who is hindering the progress of the negotiations.

Zelensky stressed that his conversations with Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushnerwere “constructive” and “substantial.” “We addressed many aspects and reviewed the key points that could ensure an end to the bloodshed and eliminate the threat of a new large-scale Russian invasion, as well as the risk of Russia not fulfilling its promises, as has happened repeatedly in the past,” he explained in a message published on X this Sunday.

Trump has maintained an uneasy relationship with Zelensky since taking office for his second term in the White House, insisting that the war was a waste of American taxpayers’ money and blaming his predecessor. Joe Biden. The president has also repeatedly urged Ukrainians to cede territory to Russia to end a conflict that has lasted almost four years and has cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
