The fate of Donald Trump’s push to stop the fighting in Ukraine will be tested again as Volodymyr Zelenskiy prepares to respond to the US president’s shifting demands following mixed signals from the Russia-US summit in Alaska.

KYIV - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he would travel to Washington on Monday for talks with Donald Trump, after the U.S. president's summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin failed to bring an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine.

KYIV (Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday he would reject any Russian proposal to pull Ukrainian troops out of the eastern Donbas region as it would deprive Kyiv of defensive lines and open the way for Moscow to conduct further offensives.

Ukraine won’t give up land to bring an end to war but is ready to work with US President Donald Trump for real and lasting peace, said President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Trump told European leaders that he believed a rapid peace deal could be negotiated if Zelenskiy agrees to cede the rest of the Donbas region to Russia, even those areas not occupied by Russian troops, according to two senior European officials briefed on the call.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that he believes Russia wants Kyiv to withdraw from the Donbas region in exchange for not advancing in other directions, a demand he firmly rejected.

A five-page summary of the call detailed a conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. It's just one piece of an overall complaint made in mid-August by a whistleblower.
