US President Donald Trump has expressed disappointment after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly had not yet reviewed a new US-backed peace proposal aimed at ending the war with Russia.
Trump said the plan had already been shared with Ukrainian representatives and expected faster action. He also claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was open to the proposal, raising expectations of progress from Moscow’s side.
The comments came after several days of talks between US and Ukrainian officials, which ended without any major breakthrough. Differences remain over critical issues such as control of territory and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials described the discussions as useful but difficult. They said more time was needed to fully study the proposal, as any peace agreement must protect Ukraine’s safety and independence. Zelenskyy later said his government would carefully review all aspects of the plan before making a final decision.
The stalled talks highlight the growing pressure on all sides to find a solution, while deep disagreements continue to block progress. The United States is pushing for quick results, but Ukraine remains cautious about accepting terms that could weaken its position.
In the coming days, Zelenskyy is expected to meet with European leaders to seek wider support and explore alternative options. These discussions could play an important role in shaping the next steps toward ending the conflict.
For now, the war continues with no clear end in sight, as diplomatic efforts struggle to bridge the gap between competing priorities and national interests.
