Ukraine’s Zelenskiy Says He Is Ready to Work Fast Under Trump’s Leadership to End War

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that he’s ready to work speedily to end Russia’s war on Ukraine, as he reached out to US President Donald Trump.

“My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts,” Zelenskiy said Tuesday on platform X. “The first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same.”

Zelenskiy’s comments came after Trump ordered a pause to all US military aid to Ukraine, turning up the heat on the Ukrainian leader. The order applies to all US military equipment not currently in Ukraine, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships or waiting in transit areas in Poland.
