Zelensky Rallies UK, France and Germany in London as U.S.-Led Ukraine Peace Push Stalls

European capitals question U.S. terms that would trade Ukrainian land for uncertain security guarantees.

Overview

  • Talks in Miami between U.S. envoys and Ukraine ended Saturday without a breakthrough, with Kyiv describing the exchanges as constructive though not easy.
  • President Trump said he was disappointed Zelensky had not read the latest proposal, while Kyiv’s negotiator Rustem Umerov said he would brief the president on all documents.
  • Moscow rejected parts of the U.S. papers and, after envoys met Vladimir Putin, signaled it wants radical changes to the proposals.
  • The London session showed public backing for Ukraine and a push to add European input, with leaders emphasizing stronger security guarantees and discussing the use of frozen Russian assets.
  • Key disputes persist over territorial status, including Donbas and issues around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, as Russian strikes continue to kill civilians and damage infrastructure.
