Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Ukraine wants to bring the war with Russia to an end, but argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not share that goal.
According to Zelenskyy, support for ending the conflict also extends beyond Ukraine. He said U.S. President Donald Trump and European partners want the war to stop as well.
The comments frame Ukraine as pushing for an end to the fighting while placing responsibility on Moscow for the lack of progress. Zelenskyy’s remarks also highlight the broader international focus on how the war could be brought to a close.
His latest statement adds to ongoing debate over whether the two sides are moving any closer to ending the conflict, with Zelenskyy insisting that Kyiv is ready for peace but Russia is not.
