Trump says ‘a little bit disappointed’ Zelensky has not read peace proposal

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he felt “a little bit disappointed” with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky for not engaging with a plan to end the war with Russia.

“So we’ve been speaking to President Putin and we’ve been speaking to Ukrainian leaders — including Zelensky, President Zelensky — and I have to say that I’m a little bit disappointed that President Zelensky hasn’t yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago,” Trump told reporters when asked on the red carpet for the Kennedy Center Honors.

Days of negotiations between US and Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky, ended Saturday without an apparent breakthrough, though Zelensky committed to conducting further talks toward “real peace.”
