New details of the talks between Zelensky and Trump

According to insiders, the Ukrainian leader told the US president that Putin "won't budge" unless Trump starts putting more pressure on him.

The White House chief of staff suggested that he might have to change his approach to the Russian dictator.

Against this backdrop, Zelensky called for a return to the initial US proposal of an unconditional ceasefire as a "starting point" for peace talks — to which Ukraine agreed but Russia did not.

Volodymyr Zelensky also made it clear that Ukraine does not recognize Crimea as Russian territory, and Trump replied that he was not asking for that.

During the conversation, Trump pressured Zelensky to sign the so-called subsoil agreement as soon as possible, the publication writes.

The US president's team declined to comment on Trump's private conversations with world leaders.
