In a statement on the social media platform X, Zelensky emphasized the need for an end to Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. He highlighted the increasing problems the conflict brings each year and stressed that Ukraine has always sought peace. Zelensky revealed that there are ongoing diplomatic discussions with both President Trump and America, focusing on de-escalation measures to bring peace closer. He stressed that Ukraine's energy sector, critical infrastructure, and food exports must remain off the table for Russia, as targeting these areas will lead to corresponding de-escalation steps from Ukraine. Zelensky reiterated Ukraine's readiness to work on solutions and discussed them with partners during the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He thanked everyone contributing to the peace process, emphasizing that the aggressor will suffer alongside the attacked country due to modern technology. Zelensky concluded by stating that strong leadership can and must deliver de-escalation, security, and peace.",
