Investing.com -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy praised U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday for his "expressed determination" in calling for a shortened deadline to end Russia’s war with Ukraine.
"Clear stance and expressed determination by @POTUS – right on time, when a lot can change through strength for real peace," Zelenskiy wrote on the X social media platform.
In his message, the Ukrainian leader thanked Trump "for his focus on saving lives and stopping this horrible war."
Zelenskiy later expanded on these comments in his nightly video address, describing Trump’s statement as "particularly significant" given Russia’s "constant attempts to inflict pain on Ukraine" through air strikes on its cities.
The Ukrainian president identified tough sanctions against Russia as a "key element" in ending the conflict.
"Russia pays attention to sanctions, pays attention to such losses," he said. "Ukraine is ready to work productively with the United States, to work with President Trump to end this war with dignity and a secure, lasting peace."
