Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that US president Donald Trump’s call for Ukraine and Russia to stop at the current frontlines was “a good compromise”, reports Reuters.

But Zelenskyy, who is visiting Nordic countries, said he doubted that Russian president Vladimir Putin would support it. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Zelenskyy told reporters:

[Trump] proposed ‘Stay where we stay and begin conversation’. I think that was a good compromise, but I’m not sure that Putin will support it, and I said it to the [US] president.

It comes as plans to hold a summit between Trump and Putin in Budapest have been put on hold as it was reported that Ukraine and its European allies had rallied in pushing for a ceasefire without territorial concessions from Kyiv.

Russia already stated clearly and repeatedly that they're not interested in a freeze. I honestly have no idea why this is still being discussed in the west.

It has to be just slop, there is no way they actually think Russia has no agency.

The west always acts like they’re they're the protagonist, escalating then backtracking when it gets messy, assuming everyone else just goes along. They've been treating Russia just an idle NPC for the past three years, why would they stop now...

No shit sherlock 😂 someone forgot to consider the conflicting party position. The losing party does not get to choose the conditions.
