According to the report, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday called on the United States to put more pressure on Russia to end the war, as diplomats converged on Miami for fresh talks. Zelenskyy also said that Washington had proposed the first face-to-face negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in half a year, but later expressed skepticism that they would help.
Zelenskyy said that only the United States was capable of persuading Russia to end the war, and he called on Washington to increase pressure on Moscow to make that happen.
Zelenskyy stated that America must clearly say: if not diplomacy, then there will be full pressure. Putin does not yet feel the kind of pressure that should exist. He also said that there is a need to stress the need for more arms supplies to Ukraine and sanctions on the entire Russian economy.
The report added that Ukrainian leader’s comments in Kyiv came as Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev arrived in Miami, where Ukrainian and European teams have also gathered for the negotiations, mediated by US special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump‘s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The report also said that on Saturday, Ukraine claimed to have destroyed two Russian fighter jets at an airfield in occupied Crimea, according to the security service SBU. Kyiv’s army said it struck a Russian oil rig in the Caspian Sea as well as a patrol ship nearby.
Additionally, Kyiv and its European allies say the war, the largest and deadliest on European soil since World War II, is an unprovoked and illegal land grab that has resulted in a tidal wave of violence and destruction.
