Ukraine and its allies are scrambling to keep Trump onside as the U.S. piles pressure on Kyiv to make a peace deal.

Ukraine delivered its response to the latest US-drafted peace proposal aimed at ending the war with Russia to the Trump administration on Wednesday, US and Ukrainian officials told CNN, as the contours of a tenuous potential deal take shape and the US president continues to make clear he wants the conflict resolved quickly.

European leaders seek talks this weekend with the U.S. president, who wants more pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

White House envoys say the Ukraine peace process hinges "on Russia's readiness," but Mr. Trump is once again voicing disappointment with Kyiv.

President Donald Trump asked when Ukraine would have democratic elections at a press availability on Wednesday. REPORTER: And you said in an interview yesterday that you think it's time for Zelensky to start accepting things.

You know, they talk about a democracy, but it gets to a point where it’s not a democracy anymore,” President Donald Trump told Politico earlier.
