Trump urges Ukraine to strike Russia deal 'fast' before Geneva talks

Trump called for rapid peace talks between Ukraine and Russia ahead of Geneva negotiations despite significant disagreements on territorial issues.

  • Ahead of the Geneva talks, US President Donald Trump told reporters `Ukraine better come to the table, fast,` on Monday, urging Kyiv to reach a deal quickly.
  • The Geneva round follows two rounds of US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi that ended without a breakthrough, while Russia demands Ukraine cede the remaining 20 per cent of Donetsk, which Kyiv refuses.
  • Sources said the Geneva sessions were `very tense` and lasted six hours while Russia's overnight airstrikes damaged Odesa's power network, leaving tens of thousands without heat and water.
  • After Zelenskiy's request, European delegations in Geneva did not join trilateral talks, but both delegations agreed to continue discussions on Wednesday.
  • Moscow's reinstatement of Vladimir Medinsky signals a focus on territorial demands amid a four-year conflict that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions.
