Zelensky open to freezing front lines to end war with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he is willing to freeze the current front lines in the war with Russia, calling it a practical way to end the conflict, during a Fox News interview on Wednesday. Zelenskyy stressed that security guarantees would be essential in any subsequent negotiations, and he also highlighted the need for 9.5 million displaced Ukrainians to return and rebuild the country. Russia has repeatedly opposed ceasefire proposals, arguing a pause would allow Ukraine to rearm. The remarks came as President Donald Trump secured the release of a detained American teacher, and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed "in principle" to resume trilateral talks with Ukraine and the U.S. after Nov. 10.
