Yeah, there has been some progress over the past few weeks, but talks at the moment are stuck.

President Trump seemed a bit frustrated on Sunday when he suggested President Zelensky had ignored the latest iteration of the plan.

Zelensky did talk a bit about the current framework on Monday.

He said the disagreement is over the Donbass region in Ukraine's east.

The Trump administration reportedly wants Ukraine to hand over control of the rest of the Donbass to Russia, which already controls most of it.

In return, Ukraine would get security guarantees and financing to help rebuild.

But Zelensky doesn't want to give up that land, or rather he says he can't because the Ukrainian constitution won't allow it.

Well, Zelensky wants to freeze the conflict along its current lines.

And he isn't the only one not really happy about the way the negotiations are going.

European leaders are frustrated, too.

Zelensky was in London yesterday, and he met with the E3, or the top leaders in Europe, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Here's Starmer laying out Europe's position on the negotiations.

Merz was the most vocal about disagreements with the U.S.
