<p>President Donald Trump called out Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, accusing him of not acting on the Trump administration’s proposal to end the Ukraine-Russia war.</p>
<p>Speaking to reporters at the Kennedy Center on Sunday evening, Trump <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1997812364931195249" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested</a> that his team’s discussions with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Zelensky have been held up by the Ukrainian president.</p>
<p>“I have to say that I’m a little bit disappointed that President Zelensky hasn’t yet read the proposal. That was as of a few hours ago,” Trump said. “His people love it, but he has it. Russia is fine with it … but I’m not sure Zelensky is fine with it.”</p>
<p>Zelensky said on Sunday that he spoke with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, but that the conversation was “not easy,” NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/world/ukraine/trump-zelenskyy-hasnt-read-russia-ukraine-peace-plan-war-europe-putin-rcna247956" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>“The American envoys are aware of Ukraine’s core positions, and the conversation was constructive, though not easy,” Zelensky said.</p>
<p>Zelensky <a href="https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1997797626931023883" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> in a post on social media that Ukraine wants to see Russia “held accountable for what it is doing — for the daily strikes, for the constant terror against our people, and for the war itself.”</p>
<p>“Ukraine deserves a dignified peace, and whether there will be peace depends entirely on Russia – on our collective pressure on Russia and on the sound negotiating positions of the United States, Europe, and all our other partners,” the Ukrainian president said.</p>
<p>Zelensky is set to meet with European leaders in London, Brussels, and Rome on Monday as Europe attempts to influence the Trump-initiated peace talks while watching from the outside.</p>
<p>While Trump said that Russia “is fine with” the proposed peace deal, Putin’s top foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, said on Sunday that the United States needs to make “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-envoy-says-ukraine-peace-deal-is-close-but-moscow-wants-radical-change?author=Reuters&;category=News&;elementPosition=undefined&;row=0&;rowType=Vertical+List&;title=U.S.+Envoy+says+Ukraine+Peace+Deal+Is+Close%2C+But+Moscow+Wants+Radical+Change" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical changes</a>” to its proposal. Ushakov did not specify what exactly the Kremlin wanted from the United States or Ukraine, but added that Putin discussed “territorial problems” with Witkoff and Kushner during a four-hour meeting in Moscow last week.</p>

<p>Russia has been pushing for control of the Donbas region of Ukraine. Putin’s forces now control most of the Donbas, but Ukraine is holding onto part of the region as the war continues. The two biggest hurdles remaining in the peace negotiations are territorial disputes over the Donbas and Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, according to U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg.</p>
<p>Kellogg said that Russia and Ukraine are “really, really close” to a deal.</p>
<p>“If we get those two issues settled, I think the rest of the things will work out fairly well,” Kellogg said. “We’re almost there.”</p>
<p>After promising to end the Ukraine-Russia war on his first day back in office, Trump’s negotiations for the end of the conflict have stalled and restarted multiple times throughout the first year of his second term. Last month, the Trump administration rekindled peace negotiations with a 28-point plan to end the war. American and Ukrainian officials met in Miami for three days last week for more peace talks, but so far, there has been no movement from those meetings.</p>
