Donald Trump expressed his displeasure at Zelensky's refusal to cede territory to Russia ahead of his meeting with Putin, stressing the need for a quick ceasefire.

The day before his meeting with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump expressed his disagreement with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky's refusal to cede territory to Russia to end the conflict. Trump stressed that an exchange of territories is necessary to reach an agreement and criticized Zelenski's position, saying concessions are necessary to stop the war. Zelenski, on the other hand, insisted that Ukraine will not abandon the land and that any decision must involve the country. The Trump-Putin summit is eagerly awaited by Kiev, which fears possible territorial ceding.
