President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that US President Donald Trump has managed to take the necessary steps to end the war in the Middle East. In his opinion, such «correct steps» by the United States can help stop the war in Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote about this in Telegram on 14 October.

He noted that after the end of the war in Gaza, it is important not to lose the momentum of spreading peace, because the war in Europe can also be ended with the leadership of the United States and partners.

The President emphasised that Donald Trump had managed to secure the release of hostages and the cessation of hostilities in Gaza, and this experience could serve as an example for ending Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said he had discussed these issues with President of Finland Alexander Stubb. The parties focused on the consequences of Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the need to strengthen air defence.

It should be noted that US President Donald Trump confirmed that he plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, 17 October.

Also recently, Donald Trump said that the decision to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine «had been made to some extent», but stressed that he was not seeking escalation with Russia.

He noted that he is ready to give Ukraine Tomahawk cruise missiles if the war with Russia is not resolved. According to him, such a statement is an element of pressure on the Kremlin, and he plans to discuss this issue personally with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that Ukraine's use of Tomahawk missiles «would damage relations between Moscow and Washington». Later, the Kremlin stated that it was waiting for concrete decisions from the United States on the possible supply of cruise missiles to Ukraine.
