U.S-Ukraine Talks in Jeddah Turn Painful For Zelensky? Trump's Team Rejects Ukraine’s Border Demands

U.S.-Ukraine Talks in Jeddah Turn Painful for Zelensky? Trump’s Team Rejects Ukraine’s Border Demands. High-stakes negotiations between the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations have begun in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with Washington assessing Kyiv’s willingness to make territorial concessions. Sky News reports that Ukraine may have to agree to “painful concessions” as part of a ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, U.S. officials have privately stated they are unwilling to consider Ukraine’s demands to restore its pre-2014 or pre-2022 borders. Despite Ukrainian authorities denying that territorial concessions were discussed, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made it clear that ceding occupied regions to Russia is part of the peace deal considerations. #USUkraineTalks #JeddahPeaceTalks #UkrainePeaceDeal #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineSaudiTalks #USUkraineNegotiations #RussiaUkraineConflict #UkraineWarUpdate #PeaceTalksJeddah #USRussiaUkraine #UkraineCeasefire #SaudiMediation #UkraineCrisis #ZelenskyTalks #Geopolitics Also Read Ukraine Peace Talks Kick Off in Malta Without Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-peace-talks-kick-off-in-malta-without-russia-gen-3670237.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~
