Trump is able to put Putin on his knees: who is in the opinion of Zelensky will be able to stop the war

In addition, during an interview, the President of Ukraine expressed gratitude to Trump for the support of sanctions, in particular, on the initiative to introduce 100 percent tariffs for countries that buy Russian oil in the absence of a peace agreement with Moscow. However, he noted that the proposed period of 50 days to resolve the conflict only delayed the necessary decisions and leads to further human casualties.

According to him, if Ukraine has to act without international support, it will be a long and bloody path to persuade Putin to end the war. This requires serious levers of influence, which is currently lacking, as the Kremlin does not demonstrate readiness for peace talks. Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke about the cruel methods of war on Russia - deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and rescuers. "And at this point, after the first blow, they stop.

Then cars come, people who give the opportunity to save lives - ambulance, doctors, nurses, SES, and they come, and at this point when they are there, they hit again," he explained. Moreover, the president noted that Putin manipulated Trump for a long time, delaying negotiations and avoiding real steps to peace.

Donald Trump was probably at first believed that the Russians were able to end the war because of humanity, but he quickly disappointed in this, realizing that the Kremlin did not value human lives even in his own country. "I think President Trump believed that the Russians were really ready to end the war, because they were sorry for the people who die, and I think it was disappointed that these Russians indifferent to the lives of people," Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained.

According to the President of Ukraine, economic sanctions will be able to hit the wallets of ordinary Russians, cause social discontent within the country and eventually cause the fall of Vladimir Putin's popularity. Although many Russians do not support the war, they are afraid to protest openly because of the threat of repression and loss of livelihoods. However, economic difficulties inevitably lead to a social explosion.
