Zelensky states that Russia appears to be ignoring Trump's communication concerning the termination of the conflict
In a series of recent statements, both U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have expressed their concerns over Putin's stance on peace in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
On September 18, President Trump stated for the second time that Putin had let him down, indicating his dissatisfaction with Russia's position. A few days later, President Zelensky echoed Trump's sentiments, stating that Russia is ignoring calls for peace from the U.S. leader.
Trump had proposed a step-by-step end to the conflict, planning to discuss a possible peace solution with Putin in August 2025. However, Russia considered these discussions but maintained maximalist conditions such as recognizing occupied Ukrainian territories as Russian and stopping Western sanctions, making Ukrainian acceptance unlikely.
Lately, signals from Washington indicate that Trump is ripening for a decision on sanctions against Russia. According to reports, the U.S. president demands that Europe completely stop buying Russian energy resources as a prerequisite for U.S. sanctions.
President Zelensky has agreed to all proposals to unlock diplomacy, as suggested by President Trump. He has also emphasized the need for decisive action to make Russia agree to diplomacy. Large-scale agreements on drone and weapons purchases between Ukraine and the U.S. are on the table, as stated by President Zelensky.
The quote provided is a direct statement from President Zelensky about Russia's disregard for peace calls and the need for decisive action. He also asserted that Russia is targeting civilians in the ongoing war.
During a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump considered the factor of Russian revenues from the sale of energy resources to be one of the key issues in stopping the Russia-Ukraine war.
President Zelensky has not specified the nature of the security guarantees he is finalizing. However, he has emphasized the need for initiatives that strengthen Ukraine, such as the PURL program and joint weapons production, to be implemented more actively.
The statement was made by President Zelensky via social media, as reported by 'European Truth'. This development comes at a time when tensions between the U.S. and Russia are running high, and both leaders are under pressure to find a solution to the ongoing conflict.
