Ukrainian leader rejects territorial concessions as US-brokered negotiations in Geneva face deadlock over eastern regions.

The diplomatic fault lines of the Russia-Ukraine war have ruptured into the open. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly accused US President Donald Trump of exerting "undue pressure" on Kyiv to force a settlement, casting a shadow over the critical peace talks currently unfolding in Geneva.
As negotiators entered their second day of US-brokered talks in Switzerland, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Zelenskyy, in a candid interview, pushed back against the American administration's approach, stating it was "not fair" for Trump to demand concessions solely from the victim of aggression while Moscow remains intransigent. The Ukrainian leader made it clear that any deal requiring the surrender of non-occupied territory in the Donbas would be dead on arrival.
The friction between Kyiv and Washington is palpable. Trump has recently suggested that the onus for the talks' success lies with Ukraine, a stance that has infuriated the Zelenskyy administration.
"I hope it is just his tactics and not the decision," Zelenskyy said of Trump's pressure campaign. The implication is clear: Ukraine will not be bullied into a bad peace, even by its most powerful ally.
While the diplomats argue in Geneva, the war continues to reshape Europe. Ukraine has slapped new sanctions on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for his role in facilitating Russian attacks. Meanwhile, in the Arctic, tensions are rising between the US and Denmark over Greenland, adding another layer of complexity to the geopolitical board.
As the talks grind on without a breakthrough, Zelenskyy’s defiance sends a signal to the world: Ukraine seeks peace, but not at the price of its sovereignty or national dignity.
