White House says ‘points of disagreement’ remain in Ukraine peace deal, weapons flow unsustainable

Reuters. The United States and Ukraine have had productive talks on a potential deal to end Russia’s war in the country, White House Press Secretary said on Monday (November 24), adding that there remained just “a couple of points of disagreement.”

Leavitt told Fox News’ ‘The Story’ program that U.S. President Donald Trump is optimistic a deal can be struck to end the war.

She also warned that the United States cannot continue sending weapons to Ukraine indefinitely. “The United States is still sending or selling a big amount of weapons to NATO. We cannot do that forever,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt’s comments come as U.S. and Ukrainian officials sought to narrow the gaps between them over a peace plan, with core issues still unresolved and Ukraine wary of being strong-armed into accepting a deal largely on the Kremlin’s terms.
