President Trump is optimistic about the peace negotiations in Ukraine, although his plan has been criticized as unacceptable for Ukraine and its allies.

The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, stated that American President Donald Trump is optimistic about the discussions for achieving peace in Ukraine, following productive meetings between the national security team and the Ukrainian delegation. Although there are some unresolved points, Trump is frustrated by the continuation of the war and has suspended American funding for it, although the U.S. continues to deliver arms. Trump's 28-point peace plan has been criticized as a "wish list" for Moscow, demanding Ukraine to accept territorial losses and limitations on its forces, while NATO should abandon its expansion. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned that no rapid progress can be expected in negotiations, emphasizing that peace will not be achieved overnight.
