Zelenskyy: There's A Chance To End The War With Russia Before Winter

The President of Ukraine outlined two conditions.

Ukraine has the opportunity to bring the war with Russia to an end within the next two months, but it will need help.

This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Ukrainian head of state is convinced that Kyiv can indeed restore a just peace to Ukraine at this time.

“We have a chance to stop and end this war before winter, if... There are several ‘ifs.’ Of course, the first ‘if’ is always will. The will of the United States, especially the president (U.S. Donald Trump—Ed.). “We’re talking specifically about the political will to end (the war—ed.),” Zelenskyy emphasized.

Despite this, the Ukrainian leader noted that in the case of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, will alone will not be enough.

Against this backdrop, the Ukrainian president once again called on allies to increase pressure on the Kremlin leader.

“The second ‘if’ is technology. We need certain technologies from the United States. We have our own experience, and we’re always ready to share it, but there are certain things we need from the U.S. We need the ‘winter package’: missiles for the Patriot systems. Only the U.S. currently manufactures them,” Zelenskyy said.
