Zelenskyy moving in wrong direction on peace talks – White House

The White House has said that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine is moving in the wrong direction on negotiations aimed at restoring peace between his country and Russia.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said this on Wednesday.

Leavitt stated that US President Donald Trump is frustrated with the pace of talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

“The president’s frustrated. His patience is running very thin. He wants to do what’s right for the world. He wants to see peace.

“He wants to see the killing stop, but you need both sides of the war willing to do that. And unfortunately, President Zelenskyy seems to be moving in the wrong direction,” Leavitt said.

DAILY POST reports that Trump and Zelenskyy on Wednesday clashed again on efforts to end the three-year-old war in Ukraine, with the US leader chiding Zelenskyy for refusing to recognize Russia’s occupation of Crimea.
