Hours earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said Trump was "frustrated" and that his "patience is running very thin."

In a post on X in which he thanked partners who took part in talks in London, among them US, European and Ukrainian officials, Zelenskyy signaled his belief that the White House would remain committed to Ukraine's territorial integrity. "Ukraine will always act in accordance with its constitution and we are absolutely sure that our partners in particular the USA will act in line with its strong decisions," the Ukrainian president wrote. Zelenskyy attached a 2018 statement by then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In it, Pompeo says: "The US rejects Russia's attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored." Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 after sending in unmarked Russian special forces, commonly referred to as "little green men." US President Donald Trump has said the Black Sea peninsula "was lost years ago" and "is not even a point of discussion." 04/23/2025April 23, 2025Trump slams Zelenskyy’s Crimea stance in Ukraine peace dealDonald Trump says a peace deal to end the Ukraine war is "very close," while lashing out at President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over his refusal to cede Crimea to Russia Trump's remarks came as Vice President JD Vance warned the US would "walk away" unless Russia and Ukraine strike a deal soon and Europe met in Britain for scaled-down peace talks after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio pulled out at the last minute US media reports suggest Trump is willing to recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea But Zelenskyy told journalists this week: "It was and will be Ukrainian territory," adding that recognizing it as Russian "is against our constitution." “It's inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy's that makes it so difficult to settle this War," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform "but the man with 'no cards to play' should now Concession or resistance?
