Trump criticizes Ukraine for not making concessions as US and Russia discuss peace talks

Donald Trump has criticized Ukraine for not making concessions to Russia before the 2022 invasion. He expressed disappointment that Ukraine was not invited to recent US-Russia talks, suggesting the conflict could have been resolved earlier. Following talks in Saudi Arabia, the US and Russia agreed to work towards ending the war in Ukraine and improving diplomatic ties. No date has been set for a potential summit between Trump and Putin. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the talks aimed to restore embassy staffing and support Ukraine peace negotiations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected any outcomes from the talks, as Ukraine was not represented.
