Trump flags ‘thorny’ issues in Ukraine peace talks after Zelenskyy meeting | ABC NEWS
US President Donald Trump says ‘thorny’ issues remain in talks to end the Ukraine war after his meeting with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
The two leaders spruiked constructive progress but were unable to define concessions that Russia and Ukraine would be willing to make.
Territory continues to be a sticking point despite the Ukrainian president’s suggestion he could budge on the matter.
Kyiv wants to hold a referendum on whether to cede territory to Russia but Moscow is adamant about not agreeing to a ceasefire to facilitate the voting process.
