KYIV POST
U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to swiftly reach a peace deal with Russia, while casting doubt on Ukraine’s sovereignty over Crimea.
According to sources close to the conversation, Trump told Zelensky to “get it done,” suggesting that negotiations with Russia were long overdue.
In remarks seen as controversial, Trump allegedly questioned Ukraine’s territorial claim over Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
The comments sparked immediate backlash from Ukrainian officials and Western analysts, who said they undermine Ukraine’s efforts to restore its territorial integrity.
Trump’s stance comes amid speculation about his potential return to the White House and what that could mean for U.S. foreign policy.
Zelensky’s office has not officially commented on the report, but Ukrainian diplomats reaffirmed their position that “Crimea is Ukraine.”
