Following the US–Ukraine talks in Florida, there’s reportedly “no progress” on territorial concessions, ABC News reports. Russia refuses to discuss a ceasefire along the front line, while Ukraine stands firm against giving up territory.
The sides also touched on frozen Russian assets, security guarantees, and elections in Ukraine, but no breakthroughs were achieved. Trump's peace proposal reportedly includes a Ukrainian withdrawal from the entire Donetsk region, which Kyiv officially rejects.
