Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he believes the Trump administration can pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to reduce hostilities and create conditions for diplomacy. His comments reflect Kyiv’s hope that Washington can use political and economic leverage to influence Moscow’s decisions. Any de-escalation would likely depend on clear commitments, monitoring and agreement on the terms of future negotiations. Russia has not indicated whether it would respond positively, while continued fighting remains a major obstacle to achieving a lasting peace there.
