Zelensky: Ukraine Has Given US Envoys Proposals for Ending Russia’s War
Zelensky said Ukraine has given the US proposals for ending Russia’s war and urged Washington to strengthen air defense and increase pressure on Moscow.
Ukraine has presented the United States with concrete proposals aimed at bringing an end to Russia’s war, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Tuesday, Aug. 11. Zelensky underscored that diplomacy must be complemented by robust Ukrainian defenses and increased pressure on Moscow. "There was a report from our negotiating team. We passed our proposals to the American side," he stated during his evening address.
The Ukrainian president did not reveal the specifics of the proposals. Washington is persisting in its attempts to reinvigorate talks between Ukraine and Russia, with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner slated to interact with both Kyiv and Moscow.
Ukraine has consistently expressed its readiness for negotiations and an unconditional ceasefire, while maintaining that any peace agreement must be underpinned by robust security guarantees. "America can help strengthen our defense, first and foremost through air defense," Zelensky emphasized. Kyiv has repeatedly called upon Washington and its allies to furnish additional air-defense systems and interceptor missiles, as Russia continues to launch extensive missile and drone assaults on Ukrainian cities.
