President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concern about the possibility of Russia rejecting Donald Trump's peace plan proposals. The Kremlin's rejection of the proposed changes could lead to significant complications and instability in the diplomatic process. Zelenskyy said this during a conversation with journalists, as reported by UNN.
If Putin rejects everything, we will have what we have now on the plane. Turbulence. It is indeed happening to us now. But it is not that great compared to the war, of course. And with that, if Putin destroys any diplomatic opportunities and desires, both of ours, European and American sides. We need to have a stable economy.
According to him, if Russia refuses the negotiation process, the United States will increase sanctions pressure on the Kremlin and increase arms supplies to Ukraine. This will allow for continued successful containment of Russian aggression and ensuring the defense of the state.
America will press with sanctions and give us more weapons if he rejects everything. I think this will be our fair request to the Americans.
He added that together with European leaders, he would ask Washington to provide some security guarantees to Ukraine. This will strengthen defense capabilities and support diplomatic efforts in peace negotiations.
Recall
