Donald Trump puts pressure on Volodymyr Zensky to accept a series of new conditions if the Ukrainian president wants to end the bloody and long -term conflict with Russia – while admitting that the country cannot survive anyway. '
The ambitious new conditions will be combined with a proposed mineral deal that blew up during tense negotiations that culminated in a public oval office spit between Trump, Zensky and Vice President JD Vance.
Trump has now raised the Ante on his original requests, claim insiders, demand that Zolensky calls an election and possibly decreases as a leader to guarantee military aid and intelligence access of the US.
Trump also expects Zolensky to open up the territory to Russia in the name of a peace agreement, NBC reports.
“We want to do everything we can do to get Ukraine seriously to get something done,” Trump told reporters on Sunday.
Earlier in the day he was asked about the future of Ukraine and he admitted sensationally: “Well, it can't survive.”
The enormous trio of concessions marks a monumental shift of his first request, which was up to Ukraine to grant the United States an interest in critical mineral means in exchange for military aid that is provided in the fight against Russian invasion.
It comes together when civil servants from Ukraine and the US come together in Jeddah, Saudi -Arabia, this week to continue peace talks.
Although Zensky has sworn to work with Trump to get a deal over the line, he has repeatedly warned that Russia will 'war' NATO and Europe if the resources are given for this.

After a tense month of negotiations, including a public spit in the White House, Trump has raised the Ante to his requests, demand that Zensky calls an election and is considering resigning as a leader, insiders claimed.
Spokesperson Brian Hughes of the White House, Brian Hughes, said: “The Ukrainians have made a positive movement,” demonstrated by Trump's decision to “read President Zensky's message during the joint session.”
“With meetings in Saudi this next week we look forward to hearing more positive movement that will hopefully end this brutal war and bloodshed.”
Last month, Trump and Vice President JD Vance Zelensky organized in the Oval Office, with the intention of signing a minerals deal that would give the United States access to important Ukrainian agents in exchange for the past and constant military aid to help combat Russian investment.
However, the meeting imploded and was abruptly ended, with the American leaders Criticism of Zensky because he was unable to show enough gratitute for the dozens of billions of dollars that America has already led in the war.
After the meeting, Trump introduced the freezing of all financing and sharing some information.
Zensky later described the diplomatic demolition in the meeting as 'regrettable'.
He also made it clear that he was ready to draw a mineral overal with the US, even without the explicit American security guarantees sought by the Ukrainians.
Russia is encouraged by Trump's decision to refuel the deal, whereby attacks on Ukraine are increased in the following days.

Russia is encouraged by Trump's decision, in which he draws up attacks on Ukraine in the following days
According to the Mensing Monitoring Mission of the United Nations, one of the deadliest days for Ukrainian citizens this year was on Friday. More daily victims were reported in 2025 than in 2024, the desk said.
American authorities retain that these attacks were probably planned, well before Trump cut off the help and stopped sharing information information.
This information information relates to information against Russian goals. The United States still passes defensive intelligence and warns Ukraine about approaching attacks.
European allies of Ukraine try to improve support in this area, but the gap has not yet been bridged, since America has offered this help for the length of the war.
Trump spoke on board Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said that most intelligence department restrictions were 'lifted'.
But he said that Ukraine should “want peace” and the end of the war above something else to have the war ended.
Asked if Zensky has proven that Ukrainians want peace, Trump said: 'I think they have not done that now, but I think they will be.
'I think it will be clear in the next two or three days. This week hundreds of people died in cities in Ukraine, and we had to stop.
“It would never have happened if I was president.”

Zensky has insisted that he and his office are ready to work under the strong leadership of President Trump to get a peace that lasts. '
A former Trump administration Russian Affairs -Expert, Fiona Hill, told CBS News that 'we can really see the impact' of Trump's efforts.
'It is certainly, on the one hand, encouraged Russia to really increase the attacks. And it is also not only blind, but also partially blinded Ukraine, “she said.
While the conversations will be resumed this week in the East, Public Sources told Reuters that civil servants try to determine whether Ukraine is interested in 'a realistic peace'.
“You can't say” I want peace “and,” I refuse to compromise about something, “said an insider.
“We want to see if the Ukrainians are not only interested in peace, but also in a realistic peace.”
Trump previously admitted that he was increasingly frustrated by the stalled negotiations with Ukraine.
“To be honest, I find it harder to deal with Ukraine, and they don't have the cards,” Trump said.

“In terms of getting a definitive arrangement, it might be easier to deal with Russia, which is surprising because they have all the cards.”
Trump and first Buddy Elon Musk have been pronounced in their criticism of Zensky, in particular his decision to call up the state of siege and to suspend elections when Russia invaded.
Since the early days of the war, the Starlink -Satellite -Internet system of Musk has played a crucial role in maintaining Ukrainian military communication, since Russia aimed in the entire country.
Musk has previously suggested suggestions that he is not doing enough, and his latest comments underline his frustration with what he sees as a meaningless and grinding conflict.
'What I am sick is years of slaughter in a stalemate that will inevitable Ukraine. Everyone who really cares about it really thinks and really understands that the meat mill is stopping. Peace now! 'Musk wrote and made one of his most explicit calls so far for an immediate end of the war, even if this means that Ukraine makes painful concessions.
“Ukraine must keep an election. Zensky would lose due to a landslide, “Musk added.
But a leading Ukrainian pollster suggests that the popularity of Zensky has actually risen since his public spit with Trump.
The poll of the KYIV International Institute of Sociology (Kiis) showed that 67 percent of Respondents Zelenskiy trusted in March, an increase of 57 percent a month earlier.
The survey was carried out from February 14 to March 4, which means that it had recorded public opinion after the bust of 28 February.
