If Trump knows how to finish this war, he should tell us today — Zelensky

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that if the candidate for the presidency of the United States of America (USA), Donald Trump, has a plan to end the Russian-Ukrainian war, he should share it. However, he warned that any proposal should not violate Ukraine's sovereignty.
The Ukrainian head of state said this in an interview with Bloomberg, quoted by Rubryka.
"If Trump knows how to end this war, he should tell us today. If there are risks to Ukrainian independence, if we lose statehood — we want to be ready for this, we want to know," Zelensky said.
He complained about delays in arms shipments from Western allies and said he was "potentially ready" to meet with Trump to hear his team's proposals.
"They can't plan my life and the life of our people and our children," he said. "We want to understand whether in November we will have the powerful support of the US or will be all alone," the president said.
Zelensky rejected the idea that Ukrainian and Russian forces are at a deadlock on the battlefield. He stated that the Ukrainian military is in a better manpower position than a few months ago, and the new offensive is a matter of arming their brigades.
The president praised the $61 billion aid package from the United States but added that military equipment is taking too long to arrive at the front.
"This is the biggest tragedy of this war, that between the decision and real fact, we have a real long, long, long wait," Zelensky said.
We will remind you that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky was last in the USA in December 2023, not "four days ago."
In addition, funding to support Ukraine in the amount of $61 billion was agreed only once.
In addition, Trump supported the version of the project that was finally passed and expressed his support for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.
It is worth adding that last year, Trump said that he could stop the Russian-Ukrainian war "in 24 hours."
After that, Zelensky invited him to visit Ukraine.
"I invite (to Ukraine – ed.) President Trump. If he can come here, I will need … 24 minutes to explain to President Trump that he cannot lead this war. He cannot ensure peace through Putin," Zelensky said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in November.
Ukraine's President warned in one of the last interviews that Trump risks "becoming a loser" if, as the president of the United States, he implements a "peace plan" forcing Ukraine to make concessions to the aggressor.
