Zelenskyy: Trump Pressuring Ukraine, Not Russia, on Peace Deal is 'Not Fair'

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that US President Donald Trump is exerting undue pressure on Ukraine to make concessions in peace negotiations with Russia.
  • Zelenskyy expressed that it was “not fair” for Trump to repeatedly call on Ukraine, rather than Russia, to make compromises.
  • He emphasized that Ukrainians would never accept surrendering more territory, particularly in the eastern Donbas region.
  • Zelenskyy suggested that a peace agreement freezing the war along current front lines could be acceptable if approved in a referendum.
  • The talks occurred amidst ongoing military escalation, with both sides reporting fresh attacks and damage.
