Trump 'disappointed' that Ukrainian President has not read peace proposal

Speaking to the press as he prepared to attend the Kennedy Center Honors Ceremony on December 7, Mr. Trump said he was “a little disappointed that President Zelenskyy has not read the proposal yet...”.

He stressed that “the Ukrainian people love it, but he doesn’t,” and suggested that the Ukrainian leader was slowing down the negotiations. “I believe Russia is okay with it, but I’m not sure Zelenskyy is okay with it,” Trump added. “His people love it. But he’s not ready.”

Relations between Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelenskyy have been volatile since Mr. Trump began his second term. The US president has repeatedly called the war a waste of American taxpayer money and urged Ukraine to make territorial concessions to end the nearly four-year conflict.

On the Ukrainian side, on December 6, Mr. Zelenskyy said he had an “important phone call” with US officials participating in negotiations in Florida and was fully updated on the situation. On social media, he affirmed that Ukraine is “determined to continue good-faith cooperation with the US side to achieve real peace .”

Meanwhile, Russia welcomed the Trump administration’s new national security strategy. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the document was consistent with Russia’s vision, especially in its emphasis on avoiding confrontation and promoting dialogue. Russia hopes this could pave the way for “further constructive cooperation” on Ukraine.

The new strategy announced by the White House on December 6 clearly stated the goal of improving US-Russia relations after many years of tension, and identified ending the war as a key interest to "reestablish strategic stability" between the two countries.
