September Could Change a Lot; We Need to Work with Partners to Achieve Peace –Zelensky
Ukraine and its partners must do all they can to push Russia toward ending the war, as signals from Russia currently point in the opposite direction.
In an evening video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the importance of working with international partners to achieve peace in Ukraine. He reported recent discussions with representatives of U.S. President Donald Trump, specifically Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, focusing on coordination between negotiating teams and strategies for achieving peace.
Zelensky provided an update on the evolving situation on the front lines and the ongoing Russian attacks. He underscored the need for a favorable mood in Moscow and Putin's personal determination to end the war, rather than perpetuating it. Although intelligence assessments and signals from Russia suggest Putin still desires the continuation of the war, Zelensky noted that a significant portion of the Russian population would likely agree to cease hostilities along the contact line.
The president reiterated that September holds considerable potential for change and urged all parties to collaborate with partners to safeguard lives and secure a peaceful resolution.
