Watch: Trump ‘disappointed’ Zelensky hasn’t read peace proposal yet<\/p>\n
On Sunday night, Donald Trump claimed Volodymyr Zelensky had not read the latest proposal on how to end Ukraine’s war with Russia. <\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters in Washington at the Kennedy Centre, Trump insisted that Zelensky’s “people” – who have been holding talks in Florida with US officials – “love” the plan.<\/p>\n
“Russia’s fine with it,” Trump remarked. “Russia’s you know, Russia I guess would rather have the whole country when you think of it. But Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I’m not sure that Zelensky is fine with it.”<\/p>\n
Zelensky has previously objected to suggestions that Ukraine should hand over territory to Russia, and limit its defence capabilities. <\/p>\n
On Monday morning, in his weekly address to Ukraine, Zelensky said “substantive discussions” had been held with Trump’s envoys.<\/p>\n
He added: “The American envoys are aware of Ukraine’s core positions, and the conversation was constructive, though not easy. We continue our work. Some issues can only be discussed in person.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Watch: Trump ‘disappointed’ Zelensky hasn’t read latest peace proposalpublished at 07:27 GMT 07:27 GMT Media caption, Watch: Trump…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-304727","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
