What Zelenskyy Says Putin's Peace Comments Not to Be Trusted

As tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue to escalate, President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a stark warning against trusting Russian leader Vladimir Putin's claims of wanting peace. This comes after US President Donald Trump revealed that he had spoken with Putin on the phone, sparking fears that Washington may be willing to sacrifice Ukrainian interests in pursuit of a deal.

Trump's statement that he believes Putin wants peace was met with skepticism by Ukraine and European allies, who are deeply concerned about the implications of any deal that would leave Ukraine vulnerable to Russian aggression. Zelensky himself expressed his unease, saying it was not very pleasant that Trump had spoken with Putin before speaking with him.

Zelensky's warning is clear any deal between Washington and Moscow must prioritize Ukrainian interests and security. He has called for a comprehensive plan to counter Russian aggression, emphasizing the need for a coordinated effort to ensure Ukraine's security.

In contrast, Trump's administration appears willing to push ahead with talks, despite Ukraine's concerns. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied that Trump had given up leverage to Putin, stating that negotiations would involve both sides recognizing things they don't want.

Ukraine's European backers are united in their rejection of any deal that would force a settlement on Kyiv. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has warned against a dictated peace, arguing that any attempt to impose a settlement would put peace and stability in Europe at risk.

The stakes are high, as Ukraine's President Zelensky knows all too well. He has warned the world against trusting Putin's claims of readiness to end the war, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach that prioritizes Ukrainian interests.

As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that any deal between Washington and Moscow must be carefully negotiated to ensure that Ukraine's security is not compromised. The world will be watching closely as these talks play out, and the outcome will have far-reaching implications for global peace and stability.
