Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Blames Zelensky for Blocking Peace Deal Over Crimea
Caption: Trump Blames Zelensky for Blocking Peace Deal Over Crimea. President Donald Trump has accused Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky of stalling peace efforts by refusing to accept U.S.-backed terms that include recognizing Russian control over Crimea. On Truth Social, Trump claimed a deal to end the war was “very close” but said Zelensky’s stance would only drag the conflict out. Vice President JD Vance outlined Washington’s vision for a ceasefire that would freeze territorial lines near current positions meaning both sides would cede some land. Ukraine, however, maintains it won’t surrender Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014. Pressed on whether the U.S. would formally recognize Russia’s claim to the peninsula, Trump said he had “no favourites”—only a desire to get a deal done and bring the war to an end.
