Zelensky: Trump's pressure on Russia will lead to a ceasefire.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that despite Russia's reluctance to ceasefire, international pressure, especially from the USA, will force the aggressor state to stop hostilities.
During a meeting with business representatives from the Dnipropetrovsk region, the head of state emphasized that Ukraine is ready to ceasefire unconditionally. 'We do not set any conditions, and Russia has no right to set conditions,' Zelensky said.
The President also noted that Ukraine opposes lifting sanctions on Russia in exchange for agreement on a ceasefire, and this position is supported by Ukraine's European partners.
Zelensky stressed that Russia is evading a ceasefire and is trying to achieve territorial gains. The occupiers' plans in the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia directions have not been realized.
'I think that the increased pressure and the Americans' dialogue with them will lead to a ceasefire,' concluded Volodymyr Zelensky.
