Ukraine Rejects Territorial Concessions, Stalling Trump-Brokered Peace Talks
Ukraine has rejected territorial concessions to Russia, a position publicly acknowledged by US envoy Jared Kushner, which is currently blocking a Trump-brokered peace deal. Kushner's statement also indicates a potential US position that Ukraine must cede territories demanded by Putin to secure a deal, though it is unclear if this reflects official US policy or personal positioning. This impasse prolongs the conflict and maintains elevated geopolitical risk.
