23.04.2025Day Trump's Ultimatum Shattered London Peace Talks
The planned ministerial-level peace talks in London collapsed after Trump publicly berated Zelensky over Crimea, stating Ukraine "lost it years ago." US Senator Vance issued an ultimatum demanding territorial concessions from both sides or the US would "exit negotiations." Following this, Russia launched a deadly drone attack on a bus in Marhanets, killing 9 and injuring 42 civilians.

By afternoon, Ukrainian officials including Svyrydenko emphasized Ukraine's readiness for negotiations but rejection of "capitulation." Zelensky called for "immediate, complete and unconditional ceasefire" while France publicly insisted on Ukraine's territorial integrity in any agreement.

By evening, details emerged that Ukraine had prepared a document refusing to discuss territorial concessions before a complete ceasefire, directly contradicting Trump's approach. CNN reported the US aims to secure a peace deal within Trump's first 100 days in office.

The day ended with Russia launching a combined missile and drone attack on Kyiv, shattering the supposed Easter ceasefire.
