Ukraine-Russia war latest: Zelensky says Kyiv and US ‘don’t have unified view’ on peace plan ahead of Starmer talks
Why Ukraine and US are still divided over a Russia war peace plan
- Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of continued territorial divisions between the US and Kyiv, specifically concerning their positions on the Donbas region.
- Zelensky's remarks came after Donald Trump criticised Ukraine's handling of peace negotiations, suggesting Zelensky is not ready for a deal.
- The Ukrainian president stated that the US, Russia and Ukraine do not hold a unified view on the future of Donbas, including Donetsk and Luhansk.
- An earlier US proposal had suggested total Russian control of Donbas, which would involve Kyiv ceding territory it currently holds.
- Zelensky is scheduled to meet with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in London, followed by meetings with EU and Nato chiefs in Brussels.
