President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying Zelenskyy is prolonging the 맥스카지노�killing field맥스카지노� after he pushed back on ceding Crimea to Russia as part of a potential peace plan.Ukraine's leader on Tuesday ruled out the idea of ceding territory to Russia in any deal before talks set for Wednesday in London among U.S., European and Ukrainian officials. 맥스카지노�There is nothing to talk about. It is our land, the land of the Ukrainian people,맥스카지노� Zelenskyy said.During similar talks last week in Paris, U.S. officials presented a proposal that included allowing Russia to keep control of occupied Ukrainian territory as part of a deal, according to a European official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.Trump called Zelenkyy's pushback 맥스카지노�very harmful맥스카지노� to talks. 맥스카지노�Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn맥스카지노�t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?맥스카지노� he wrote on social media.Trump added that 맥스카지노�inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy맥스카지노�s맥스카지노� are making 맥스카지노�it so difficult to settle this War.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�The situation for Ukraine is dire 맥스카지노� He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country," Trump wrote. Zelenskyy's statement 맥스카지노�will do nothing but prolong the 맥스카지노�killing field,맥스카지노� and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal, but the man with 맥스카지노�no cards to play맥스카지노� should now, finally, GET IT DONE."Wednesday's meeting was pared back at the last minute, while Vice President JD Vance said negotiations are reaching a moment of truth.맥스카지노�We맥스카지노�ve issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it맥스카지노�s time for them to either say 맥스카지노�yes맥스카지노� or for the United States to walk away from this process," Vance told reporters during a visit to India.He said it was 맥스카지노�a very fair proposal맥스카지노� that would 맥스카지노�freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today,맥스카지노� with both sides having to give up some territory they currently hold. He did not provide details.A senior European official familiar with the ongoing talks involving the American team said a proposal that the U.S. says is 맥스카지노�final맥스카지노� was initially presented last week in Paris, where it was described as 맥스카지노�just ideas맥스카지노� 맥스카지노� and that they could be changed.When those 맥스카지노�ideas맥스카지노� surfaced in media reports, Ukrainian officials were surprised to find that Washington portrayed them as final, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.Zelenskyy said Wednesday that Ukraine is ready for any format of negotiations that might bring a ceasefire and open the door to full peace negotiations, as he mourned nine civilians killed when a Russian drone struck a bus earlier in the day.맥스카지노�We insist on an immediate, complete and unconditional ceasefire,맥스카지노� Zelenskyy wrote on social media, in accordance with a proposal he said the United States tabled six weeks ago.Ukraine and some Western European governments have accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of dragging his feet on that proposal as his army tries to capture more Ukrainian land. Western analysts say Moscow is in no rush to conclude peace talks because it has battlefield momentum.Doubts over negotiationsU.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the talks in London to find an end to the more than three-year war would involve only lower-ranking officials, after the U.S. State Department said Tuesday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was unable to attend because of a scheduling issue.Rubio's abrupt cancellation raised doubts about the direction of negotiations. He had indicated that Wednesday맥스카지노�s meeting could be decisive in determining whether the Trump administration remains engaged.Commenting on those attending the talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that 맥스카지노�as far as we understand, they so far have failed to bring their positions closer on some issues.맥스카지노� He said the Kremlin was still in consultations with American officials but wouldn맥스카지노�t publicly discuss details.U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit Moscow again later this week, according to Russian officials.Even achieving a limited, 30-day ceasefire has been beyond the reach of negotiators, as both sides continue to attack each other along the 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line and launch long-range strikes.A Russian drone struck a bus carrying workers in Marganets, in eastern Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region on Wednesday morning, killing eight women and one man, regional head Serhii Lysak wrote on social media. More than 40 people were injured, he said.Lysak published photos of a bus with windows blown out and shards of glass mixed with blood spattered on its floor.Ukrainian delegation arrives in LondonTrump has pushed for an end to the war and said last week that negotiations were 맥스카지노�coming to a head.맥스카지노� That comment came after Rubio suggested that the U.S. might soon back away from negotiations if they don맥스카지노�t progress.Those still attending Wednesday's meeting include retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump맥스카지노�s envoy for Ukraine and Russia.Andrii Yermak, the head of Ukraine맥스카지노�s presidential office, said on social media that a delegation including him, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov had arrived in London for the talks despite the alterations.맥스카지노�The path to peace is not easy, but Ukraine has been and remains committed to peaceful efforts,맥스카지노� Yermak said. Officials would 맥스카지노�discuss ways to achieve a full and unconditional ceasefire as the first step toward a comprehensive settlement and the achievement of a just and lasting peace."Several hours later, Yermak said that he, Sybiha and Umerov met with national security and foreign policy advisors from the countries "participating in the coalition of the willing맥스카지노� and 맥스카지노�emphasized our commitment to the peace efforts of U.S. President.맥스카지노�He asserted on social media that 맥스카지노�Russia continues to reject an unconditional ceasefire, dragging out the process and trying to manipulate negotiations.맥스카지노�Trump frustrated with both sidesTrump said repeatedly during his election campaign last year that he would be able to end the war 맥스카지노�in 24 hours맥스카지노� upon taking office. But he has expressed frustration with Zelenskyy and Putin. Russia has effectively rejected a U.S. proposal for an immediate and full 30-day halt in the fighting by imposing far-reaching conditions.Some European allies are wary of the American proposal for Ukraine to exchange land for peace. But an official said there맥스카지노�s also acknowledgment by some allies that Russia is firmly entrenched wholly or partially in five regions of Ukraine: Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.If the goal is to obtain a ceasefire immediately, 맥스카지노�it should be based on the line of contact as it is,맥스카지노� said the senior French official, who was not authorized to be publicly named and spoke on condition of anonymity according to French presidential policy.___Novikov reported from Kyiv and Madhani from Washington.
