Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a furious call to former U.S. President Donald Trump to unveil his “peace plan” to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Zelensky’s fiery response came during an interview with CNN, where he was pressed on his thoughts regarding Trump’s repeated assertion that he could resolve the full-scale invasion within a mere “24 hours.”
Despite Trump’s persistent claims of having the key to peace, he has yet to divulge the specifics of his plan, leaving the international community intrigued and skeptical.
Where’s the peace plan?
“If he’s got some smart ideas, he can share them with us, of course,” President Zelensky declared, his frustration palpable. “He can publicly share his idea now, not waste time, so as not to lose people and say, ‘My formula is to stop the war and stop all this tragedy and stop Russian aggression.’ He should tell us how he envisions pushing Russia from our land. Otherwise, he’s not presenting the global idea of peace.”
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer inquired whether Ukraine was prepared to concede territory to Russia. Zelensky unequivocally responded, “We’re not ready [to give up territory to Russia].”
“[Putin] has said publicly a lot of times that he can use nuclear weapons on Europe or maybe some other target,” Zelensky highlighted, emphasizing that such concessions could inadvertently embolden Putin’s aggression and set the stage for further conflicts driven by Russia.
No specifics
The enigmatic nature of Trump’s proposed peace plan, though met with skepticism from Zelensky, has found an unlikely admirer in Putin, who recently expressed his satisfaction. Putin remarked, “We surely hear that Mr. Trump says he will resolve all burning issues within several days, including the Ukrainian crisis. We cannot help but feel happy about it.”
However, Trump remained tight-lipped about the specifics of this peace plan, noting, “But I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Zelensky, both of whom I get along [with].”
As the world watches with bated breath, President Zelensky’s impassioned challenge to Trump underscores the urgency of finding a lasting resolution to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. The quest for peace in the region continues, fueled by a mixture of hope, skepticism, and a quest for a clear roadmap to a brighter future.
