Trump: Zelenskyy must "get moving" if he wants to reach peace deal with Russia
US President Donald Trump has said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "must act" to secure a peace deal to end Russia’s war.
As reported by Censor.NET, he made the remarks to journalists at the White House.
Trump’s statement
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump was asked about the possibility of holding elections in Ukraine. He replied:
"Zelenskyy's going to have to get moving, Russia wants to make a deal, and Zelenskyy's going to have to get moving otherwise he's going to miss a great opportunity," the US leader said.
Trump’s pressure
Trump’s comments, which suggested that the Ukrainian leader should step up his role in peace talks, came after Zelenskyy told journalists on February 7 that the White House had set Kyiv and Moscow a deadline until June to reach an agreement to end the war.
- The US president has repeatedly put pressure on Zelenskyy, claiming he is not interested in peace or is an obstacle to achieving it.
