“Washington will push for peace by putting pressure not only on Putin but also on Zelensky,” – said U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO Whitaker

To end the war in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump intends to put pressure not only on Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin but also on Volodymyr Zelensky.

This was stated by U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker during a broadcast on the American political cable channel Newsmax.

“President Trump is trying to find ways to continue pressuring Vladimir Putin, continue pressuring, frankly, Volodymyr Zelensky, and also to find new ways to apply pressure to bring both sides to the negotiating table, agree on a ceasefire, end the war, and simply stop the killing,” Whitaker said.

He added that “this is just a brutal trench war in which no one is winning.”

The U.S. envoy to NATO also noted that the North Atlantic Alliance is “working intensively” to help the American president achieve a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.
