United States President Donald Trump is reportedly 'extremely frustrated' with both Russia and Ukraine over stalled peace talks, according to his spokeswoman. The United States continues to urge Ukraine to make significant territorial concessions to end the ongoing conflict, a stance that has drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky revealed that the latest United States plan would require Ukraine to withdraw troops from parts of the eastern Donetsk region and accept a demilitarised buffer zone, while Russia would retain control over some southern areas. Ukraine has submitted a counter-proposal and insists that any decision on territorial concessions should ultimately be made by the Ukrainian people through elections or a referendum.
