Trump is disappointed by Zelensky’s lack of response to the proposed peace plan for Ukraine

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is disappointed by the lack of reaction from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to a proposed peace deal.

The head of the White House said this while speaking to the press at an event at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

According to Trump, the proposal has received support from Moscow and from the Ukrainian negotiating team, but Zelensky himself “has not read it.”

“We spoke with President Putin, and we communicated with the Ukrainian leaders, including Zelensky, President Zelensky. And I have to say that I’m somewhat disappointed that President Zelensky has not yet read the proposal. That was as of a few hours ago. His team is thrilled with it, but he is not. Russia agrees with it. Russia, I think, would rather have the whole country (Ukraine), if you think about it. But Russia, as I understand it, agrees with it. But I’m not sure that Zelensky agrees. His team supports it, but he has not read it,” Trump said.

Let us recall that Zelensky will be in London today, where he will likely want to consult with European leaders before giving his response to the draft peace plan.

Western media report that European leaders are discouraging Zelensky from agreeing to withdraw troops from Donetsk region.
