Zelensky Asks Trump to Mediate Ukraine Peace Like in the Middle East

According ‍to the English section of webangah news Agency, ⁢citing​ AFP, Ukrainian‌ President Volodymyr Zelensky ​spoke​ by phone with U.S.President Donald Trump, urging him ⁤to mediate an ‍end ‌to the war in Ukraine. Zelensky said if Trump can stop one war, ⁣”other wars can be stopped as well.”

The call took place ⁢a day after a large-scale Russian attack hit Ukraine’s power grid, causing blackouts across parts of Kyiv and nine other regions.

In ​recent months, diplomatic efforts ⁢to end​ the Russia-Ukraine conflict have slowed down. Kyiv attributes‍ this partly to⁣ global ⁤attention ​shifting toward the Gaza conflict.
Trump announced an initial ceasefire agreement in Gaza last ⁣Wednesday⁤ and met with Russian⁢ President Vladimir ⁢Putin​ in⁢ August but failed‍ to secure any peace‌ deal.

Zelensky expressed gratitude on Facebook for ⁤what⁤ he called Trump’s “outstanding ceasefire plan in the Middle East,” describing their discussion as⁣ very positive and constructive.

he asked Trump to pressure ​the Kremlin into‍ negotiations,adding: “If a war stops in one region,certainly other⁤ wars – including Russia’s – can also be stopped.”

The relationship between ‍Zelensky ‍and Trump has notably improved since ⁤February when they clashed during a controversial televised⁢ meeting ‍at the White House.

Meanwhile, Trump’s stance toward Moscow has grown⁢ more opposed.In September, on his social platform Truth Social, he wrote ‌that Kyiv should work with Europe and NATO to reclaim​ all its occupied territories.
