Zelensky reverses hardline position on peace talks
The about-face comes one day after reports of Donald Trump freezing military aid to Kiev
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has said that Kiev is ready to engage in peace negotiations with Russia, to be brokered by US President Donald Trump. The statement comes after the White House reportedly stopped all military aid to Kiev following a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office between the two leaders, for which US officials have demanded Zelensky apologize.
Zelensky made a concession-filled post on X on Tuesday, saying his public feud with Trump in the Oval Office was “regrettable.”
“We are ready to work fast to end the war,” Zelensky wrote. He has frequently said in the past that Ukraine would fight as long as necessary and that peace talks could only happen on Ukraine’s terms.
He proposed the release of prisoners and establishing “truces” on both the air and sea fronts, echoing suggestions by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron in a meeting with him in London on Sunday. The French-UK plan envisages a temporary, month-long “truce in the air, on the seas, and on energy infrastructure.” Moscow has repeatedly ruled out a temporary ceasefire with Kiev, insisting on a permanent, legally binding peace deal that addresses the root causes of the conflict.
On Monday, Trump reportedly ordered a temporary halt to all US military aid to Ukraine, aiming to pressure Zelensky into negotiations to end the conflict with Russia. An unnamed senior administration official told Fox News that military assistance would stay suspended until the Ukrainian leadership demonstrates a genuine commitment to peace talks.
“Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer,” Zelensky continued on X, offering his appreciation for Washington’s support. “My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts,” he added.
“'Ready' is good, it is positive,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reacted to the statement.
During the Friday meeting, Trump accused Zelensky of ingratitude and “gambling with World War III” by refusing to work towards a halt to hostilities.
On Sunday, Zelensky told reporters that “an agreement to end the war is still very, very far away, and no one has started all these steps yet.” Trump condemned his statement on social media, promising that “America will not put up with it for much longer.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated Moscow’s readiness to resolve the Ukraine conflict through peaceful means. He emphasized Russia’s aim of establishing an international system that ensures a balanced and mutual consideration of interests, creating a long-term, indivisible European and global security framework.

Trump doubles China tariffs
The US President has followed through on his threat
The US has doubled recent tariffs imposed on all Chinese imports, effective from Tuesday. The levy, which has risen from 10% to 20%, comes in addition to other targeted duties Washington previously imposed on thousands of goods from the Asian powerhouse.
Last month US President Donald Trump ordered new tariffs on all goods from the country’s three largest trading partners, Mexico, Canada and China, claiming the measures were necessary to protect American interests. He also cited concerns over an influx of lethal drugs from the countries, illegal immigration and trade imbalances.
Washington has accused China of supplying chemicals used in the illicit production of synthetic opioid fentanyl.
An executive order published on Monday claims that Beijing has failed to address the issue, and that 20% levies instead of 10% are being applied.
Speaking to reporters in the White House, Trump said, “I don’t think they [China] are going to retaliate too much.”
The announcement prompted a swift response from Beijing.
“The US once again uses the fentanyl issue as a pretext to threaten China with tariff hikes on its imports. China opposes this move and will do what is necessary to firmly safeguard its legitimate interests,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Monday.
The Chinese government has announced additional tariffs ranging from 10% to 15% on various US goods, including agricultural products and energy commodities, and placed export and investment restrictions on 25 US firms. Beijing has also filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO), asserting that the US tariffs violate international trade rules, and has called on Washington to resolve concerns through dialogue.
“Trade and tariff wars have no winners,” Jian stated.
Trivium China analyst Even Pay has described Beijing's response as “restrained.”
“China's tariffs impact a limited number of US products and remain below the 20% level. China's government is signalling that they do not want to escalate, they want to deescalate,” Pay told Reuters.
