According to the report, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday met with US President Donald Trump‘s envoys for talks on how to end the war with Russia, kicking off two days of crisis diplomacy in Berlin.
Trump has pushed for an end to the almost four-year-old conflict, but key questions remain on territorial concessions, future security guarantees for Kyiv, and whether Russia would agree to any proposal hammered out by the Europeans and Americans.
The report stated that German leader Friedrich Merz was shown offering a warm welcome to Zelenskyy, as well as Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and the US president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, in a short video released by the chancellery.
The report added that Zelenskyy said he hoped the United States would back the idea of freezing the front line where it is, rather than Ukraine ceding the entire Donbas region as Moscow demands. He said that the fairest possible option is to ‘stay where they are.
In addition to the report, Trump has been stepping up pressure on Kyiv to reach an agreement since revealing a plan last month to end the war that was criticized as echoing Moscow’s demands; however, the proposal triggered a flurry of diplomacy, with Kyiv officials recently saying they had sent Washington a revised version, and that Zelenskyy had not received a response from Washington on Ukraine’s amendment.
