Zelenskyy: Pressure Must Be Given To Moscow To Prevent Russian Power Scams

JAKARTA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of the need for pressure on Russia for a just peace.

This statement was made by the President of Ukraine hours before the virtual meeting of US President Donald Trump with European leaders with Zelenskyy.

"This war must end," Zelenskyy said on Telegram.

"We must learn from the experience of Ukraine and our partners to prevent deception from the Russian side," he continued.

According to him, there is no sign that Russia will end the war. It is necessary to take joint steps between Ukraine, Europe, including the United States.

"All countries that want peace can definitely force Russia to make peace," Zelenskyy said.

The negotiations are seen as an opportunity for Ukraine and its European partners to urge Trump to respect Kyiv's interests before his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, August 15 which is scheduled to take place without Zelenskyy.
