Trump Urges Fast Negotiations as Ukraine and Russia Start Peace Talks in Geneva
Donald Trump urged Ukraine to quickly come to the negotiating table as delegations led by Rustem Umerov and Vladimir Medinsky arrived in Geneva for US-mediated peace talks.These discussions involve mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner following previous rounds in the United Arab Emirates that failed to yield significant breakthroughs in the conflict.While Volodymyr Zelensky expressed a willingness to discuss a frozen frontline with long-term security guarantees, he rejected Russian demands for a full withdrawal from Donetsk and Luhansk.Internal pressure on
Volodymyr Zelensky has grown following the detention of
German Galushchenko on corruption charges and US suggestions that
Ukraine should hold new elections.
