The scheduled talks between top diplomats of the US, France, Germany, the UK and Ukraine is postponed abruptly.

Top diplomats of the United States, Ukraine, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have postponed a planned meeting in London, downgrading the talks on ending the war in Ukraine to discussions among their senior officials.

The abrupt postponement was announced by the UK's Foreign Office, without elaborating on the reason.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha is still expected to hold a bilateral meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy.

Sybiha arrived in London along with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, and Defence Minister Rustem Umerov.

In a series of posts on social media, Yermak said: "Despite everything, we will work for peace.

"Today we will talk about ways to achieve a complete and unconditional ceasefire as the first step towards a full-fledged settlement process and achieving a just and sustainable peace."


Concession of territory is not negotiable for the Ukraine ... positions pre-military operation of 22-02-2022 have hardened. No one listens, just repeating demands not going anywhere.

Taking place in the mid-19th century, the Crimean War was the first war to be photographed. It was also one of the first conflicts to hit home the hard truth of what war is really like to the soldiers that took part. In stark contrast to the messages from the government propaganda that got them there in the first place.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: The 2025 60 Minutes Interview

As Russia's war with Ukraine continues, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sits down with Scott Pelley to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine, the war, the Oval Office meeting, and the latest attacks on civilians.

In his first term, President Trump was harassed by the intelligence community with a false narrative of RussiaGate ... members of US Congress tried to impeach him twice and failed ... Ukraine supported HRC and Democrats in the 2016 election campaign ... this UA actor dares to utter the words: the White House falls for the KGB dictator and Russian propaganda ... case closed, the book on Ukraine is SHUT. Zelenskyy chose the path of European war on Russia ... his people will face an endless struggle and the greatest military power will fall silent on Europe's security and defense ...

Trump says 'inflammatory' Zelenskyy statement on Crimea prolongs war with Russia

'The situation for Ukraine is dire' and Zelenskyy is hurting peace negotiations, Trump says

President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement on Crimea, saying it was "very harmful" to peacemaking efforts.

"It's inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy's that make it so difficult to settle this war," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire -- He can have peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole country."

Trump also rejected Zelenskyy's red line in the Truth Social post, saying it was "not even a point of discussion," as the territory was "lost years ago" under then-President Barack Obama.

Evening Report -- Russia, Ukraine talks teeter on the brink | The Hill |

PEACE TALKS APPEAR TO BE TEETERING on the brink of collapse as tempers flare between Russia and Ukraine and the U.S. signals it's ready to walk away from negotiations.

President Trump erupted at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday after the Ukrainian leader drew a red line by saying he would never accept a peace deal that recognizes Russia's annexation of Crimea.

    "Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea... There's nothing to talk about here," Zelensky said amid reports the U.S. has offered to recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea as part of a peace deal.

Trump lashed out at Zelensky over Truth Social:

    "This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion. Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn't they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?" Trump said.

    "The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the "killing field," and nobody wants that!" he added. "We are very close to a Deal, but the man with `no cards to play' should now, finally, GET IT DONE. I look forward to being able to help Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this Complete and Total MESS, that would have never started if I were President."
