Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump on Wednes­day lashed out at Ukraine’s pres­i­dent, say­ing Volodymyr Ze­len­skyy is pro­long­ing the “killing field” af­ter push­ing back on ced­ing Crimea to Rus­sia as part of a po­ten­tial peace plan.

Ze­len­skyy on Tues­day ruled out ced­ing ter­ri­to­ry to Rus­sia in any deal be­fore talks set for Wednes­day in Lon­don among U.S., Eu­ro­pean and Ukrain­ian of­fi­cials. “There is noth­ing to talk about. It is our land, the land of the Ukrain­ian peo­ple,” Ze­len­skyy said.
