Former US President Donald Trump believes that Russia is prepared to negotiate a peace agreement to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, but he places blame on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the delay in reaching a deal. Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy stems from the Ukrainian leader’s refusal to accept any agreement that would recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Zelenskyy has cited Ukraine’s constitution, which prohibits the surrender of territory, as the reason for his stance. Tensions between Trump and Zelenskyy escalated following a contentious meeting between the two leaders. The ongoing discord highlights the complexities of international relations and the challenges of finding common ground in resolving conflicts.
