Zelenskyy Dismisses Possibility of Immediate Peace in Ukraine-Russia Conflict.

In a recent press conference held in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly asserted that ending the ongoing war with Russia within the week is implausible. His remarks come in response to statements made by White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, who suggested that U.S. President Donald Trump could broker a peace deal imminently.

“It is impossible to end this war this week with guarantees for Ukraine,” Zelenskyy stated, underscoring the complexity of the conflict that has persisted for nearly three years since Russia’s invasion. He emphasized the necessity of direct negotiations, expressing uncertainty about how a resolution could be achieved without such dialogues.

Zelenskyy also highlighted the importance of equitable partnerships in any potential agreements, rejecting any notion that Ukraine should bear the burden of past debts while seeking new investments. His comments reflect a broader concern regarding the terms of peace and the need for assurances that Ukraine’s sovereignty would be respected.

As the conflict continues, the prospect of a swift resolution appears increasingly distant, with both sides entrenched in their positions. The international community remains watchful, hoping for a diplomatic breakthrough that can bring lasting peace to the region.
