Ukrainian President's Call for International Pressure on Putin

During an interview with Fox News, President Zelenski emphasized the need for increased international pressure on Russian President Putin to facilitate an agreement to end the war. Zelenski highlighted the necessity of broader security guarantees for Ukraine and expressed that the assurances provided by Europe alone are insufficient. He also referenced President Trump's stance on imposing heavier economic sanctions if a peace deal is not reached, which Zelenski supported as fair and just. Zelenski mentioned his prior requests to former President Biden and European Union countries for weapons and preventive measures, revealing the conditions under which military assistance would be provided. The Ukrainian President also commented on the importance of American support in deterring Russian aggression. Trump's recent social media post warning of escalating consequences if a peace agreement is not reached was also addressed in the interview.
