Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cited a lack of confidence in Moscow’s purposes after receiving phone calls from US President Donald Trump and some European leaders. Zelenskyy said,” I don’t understand the rules from the Russian side.” According to what I understood from our conversation with US President Trump, the Russians want to give us a letter outlining their position on the principles, and they want to see more principles than just a ceasefire. Zellenskyy praised Trump’s call for a complete ceasefire without conditions, saying,” I was really pleased when President Trump proposed a complete ceasefire without any problems or preconditions. We’ve always been prepared for this. Therefore, these are our guiding principles: a peace followed by additional steps and an exchange of prisoners. The Ukrainian President, yet, emphasized that faith continues to be a big challenge. Everyone seems to be very interested in a peace, I truly count on it. Too many loses, we really want to end this conflict. We don’t believe Russia, and I don’t think it’s available. And that’s what we want from them: a first-time peace to demonstrate that they are truly prepared to end the conflict. He added that he keeps in touch with foreign lovers. I often share this statement with all of our partners, including Americans and Europeans. Following Trump’s announcement that the Vatican did offer to host the talks, Russia and Ukraine do “immediately” commence negotiations toward a ceasefire, according to Zellenskyy’s remarks. Despite an arrangement to exchange prisoners, past work, including the Istanbul large, failed to produce sustained outcomes.
