Zelenskyy Appeals to Trump for More Pressure on Putin Not Ukraine
As Orbán’s veto threatens to stall financial aid, Baltic and Nordic nations are reportedly devising a plan to provide Ukraine with sufficient funds for the first half of the year. Meanwhile, President Zelenskyy emphasizes the critical role of former President Trump in brokering peace, acknowledging a need for negotiations and increased pressure on Russia, not on Ukraine. Despite Trump’s recent controversial remarks questioning Zelenskyy’s readiness for a deal and expressing a misplaced confidence in Putin’s willingness to negotiate, discussions suggest the U.S. under a potential Trump administration would offer some form of security guarantee, though specifics remain unclear.
