“Politically, Ukraine is ready for ending the war \u2014 ceasefire,” Zelenskyy said Tuesday. “Russia is not demonstrating any serious activity in any of those directions. Everyone else understands that everything else is just a game. It’s important that at the G7 meeting everyone realizes that.”<\/p>\n

The remarks come just days after Trump held separate phone calls with both Zelenskyy and Putin. According to the Kremlin, Trump again called for an end to the war, but Putin said that if Zelenskyy wants a meeting, he must travel to Moscow \u2014 an offer Zelenskyy has repeatedly rejected.<\/p>\n

“The priorities are clear: increasing the number of air defense missiles and providing licenses for their production, a winter support package, and strengthening pressure on Russia,” Zelenskyy said. “It is important that the United States is ready to provide backstop support in these areas of work.”<\/p>\n
