“A ceasefire, lasting and reliable, will be a real indicator of movement toward peace. America can help with this. The world needs America now just as it did eighty years ago,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on May 8.
I’ve just spoken with President Trump. It was a good conversation – very warm and constructive. We congratulated each other and our nations on Victory Day in World War II: 80 years since the victory over Nazism – the victory in Europe, achieved together by all the nations that defeated Nazism. It is very important that this shared victory and the joint efforts of the Allies became the foundation for peace and international law – for a normal life for many nations.
Now, this life must be protected and restored – rebuilt from the ruins after Russian strikes. Just as before, we must work together to bring peace. We spoke with the President about joint actions: the support of the United States that is so urgently needed, and pressure on Russia – pressure for the sake of peace. We discussed the situation on the front lines. We discussed diplomatic efforts. We talked about how to bring closer a real and lasting ceasefire – for at least 30 days. That could open up many opportunities for diplomacy.
