‘He’s Gone to a Lot of Meetings’: Trump Is Exasperated by Zelensky’s Relentless Undermining of Alaska Peace Talks (VIDEOS)

| Published August 11, 2025

President Donald Trump has expressed frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s stance on territorial concessions in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Ahead of a planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump criticized Zelensky for demanding constitutional approval for any land swaps while continuing military actions. Trump emphasized that peace negotiations may require territorial adjustments, which Zelensky’s position complicates. He also noted that while Zelensky has participated in numerous meetings over the past three and a half years, there has been little progress.

In contrast, Trump has been coordinating with European leaders to present a united front in the upcoming summit. A virtual call involving leaders from Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, the UK, the EU, and NATO is scheduled to discuss strategies and ensure that any peace agreement reflects Europe’s interests.

While Trump has stated that Zelensky will be included in future discussions if the initial talks are successful, the exclusion of Ukraine from the Alaska summit has raised concerns about the potential for agreements that may favor Russia without Ukrainian participation.

This has made US president Donald J. Trump publicly criticize Zelensky for his lack of progress in peace building.

 

Watch: ‘He’s gone to a lot of meetings…he’s been there for three and a half years and NOTHING happened’

 

Watch: ‘[Zelensky] got approval to go into war and kill everybody but he needs approval to do a land swap’.

 

Zelensky has rallied the Euro-Globalists, and so you have France’s Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Poland’s Donald Tusk, as well as EU unelected bureaucrats – all publicly debating and rejecting a plan that hasn’t even been formed and negotiated – much less divulged.

But Trump is laser-focused on peace and prosperity.

 

 


⚠️ Implications of Trump’s Frustration and the Alaska Summit

1. Potential Shift in U.S. Policy Toward Ukraine-Russia Conflict
Trump’s remarks suggest a more pragmatic or transactional approach to peace negotiations, possibly accepting territorial concessions by Ukraine to Russia as part of a peace deal. This could mark a departure from previous U.S. policy focused on fully supporting Ukraine’s current territorial integrity.

2. Strained U.S.-Ukraine Relations
Zelensky’s exclusion from the initial summit and Trump’s criticism might strain the U.S.-Ukraine partnership. Ukraine may feel sidelined or pressured to make concessions without direct involvement in the talks, affecting trust and cooperation.

3. Increased Influence for Russia in Negotiations
By excluding Ukraine from the first meeting, Russia could gain leverage in shaping the terms of any peace deal. This may embolden Putin’s government to push for favorable terms, potentially undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty.

4. Impact on European Unity and Security
European leaders are reportedly coordinating with Trump ahead of the summit, showing concern about the implications for European security and interests. The outcome of this summit could redefine NATO and EU strategies regarding Eastern Europe’s security and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

5. Domestic Political Ramifications for Trump
Trump’s handling of this delicate international issue could affect his political capital in the U.S. His stance may appeal to some voters advocating for ending prolonged conflicts, but it could alienate others who view supporting Ukraine as a moral imperative.

6. Uncertainty in the Peace Process Timeline
The exclusion of Ukraine and the emphasis on territorial swaps suggest peace talks could be prolonged and complicated. This might extend the conflict timeline or risk a fragile ceasefire without a comprehensive solution.


💬 Overall Takeaway:

President Trump’s pragmatic approach to the Ukraine conflict underscores the necessity of prioritizing American and allied interests over idealistic but unrealistic demands. Zelensky’s insistence on constitutional approval for territorial concessions only prolongs a costly conflict with no clear end in sight. By pushing for direct talks with Putin—even if it means initial exclusion of Ukraine from some discussions—Trump is demonstrating decisive leadership aimed at achieving a real, enforceable peace. This approach respects the sovereignty of all parties while recognizing that sometimes difficult compromises are required to end wars and restore stability. Rather than endless meetings with no progress, America needs a clear-eyed strategy that balances moral support for Ukraine with practical peace-building measures that serve Western security and economic interests.
