\u201cWe remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force<\/a>,\u201d the leaders stressed.<\/p>\n

Trump\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0on Friday that there will be \u201csome swapping of territories\u201d<\/a> as part of a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, a proposition that was quickly rejected<\/a> by Zelenskyy. <\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said Kyiv is \u201cready to work together with President Trump,\u201d but any decisions made without Ukraine are \u201cunworkable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Trump is open to holding a trilateral summit in Alaska<\/a> that would include Zelenskyy, a White House official told reporters<\/a> on Saturday. But Washington is currently planning a bilateral meeting with Putin at his request, the official added.<\/p>\n

Ukraine and its allies have no doubts \u201cabout America\u2019s ability to ensure that the war ends,\u201d Zelenskyy said in a separate statement Saturday. \u201cThe president of the United States has the leverage and the determination<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under the proposal being floated by the Trump administration, the Kremlin would agree to a freeze of the war along the contact line in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, where Russia controls less land than in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, a person familiar with the matter told POLITICO. In return, Moscow would be allowed to keep the Donbas, said the person, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force,\u201d the leaders stressed.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[138,816,5704,627,230,141,3374,819,59,145,57,58,479,15025,148,151,2363,50,999,30971,154,1351,30972,30299,56,157,54,158,55,2988,159,160,636,161],"class_list":["post-56806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-americas","tag-borders","tag-conflict","tag-david-lammy","tag-diplomacy","tag-donald-trump","tag-finland","tag-france","tag-gb","tag-germany","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-italy","tag-jd-vance","tag-kremlin","tag-military","tag-negotiations","tag-news","tag-poland","tag-regions-cohesion","tag-russia","tag-security","tag-steve-witkoff","tag-u-s-politics","tag-uk","tag-ukraine","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-ursula-von-der-leyen","tag-vladimir-putin","tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","tag-war","tag-war-in-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56806","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=56806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
