    Zelensky: US Not a Strong Mediator in Talks with Russia

    Ukrainian President condemns U.S. “soft policy” toward Russia.

    Ukrainian ⁤President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized U.S.diplomatic approaches to Russia during an interview with Hungarian outlet Valasz Online, as ⁣reported by webangah News Agency.

    Zelenskyy revealed that Russian negotiators issued an ultimatum⁣ during last week’s Istanbul talks, which Kyiv would never accept,⁤ though he declined to​ provide specifics.

    The president called for powerful mediators in future negotiations to ensure Russian compliance with any agreements. “The United States doesn’t currently appear to⁣ be a strong mediator,” Zelenskyy stated. “When Russians told them to leave the table, they simply‍ stepped aside. ‌Why? ⁣Because of‌ their soft policy ⁤toward Russia!”

    He emphasized that lasting peace would only emerge⁤ when international actors who understand Russian President Vladimir Putin’s true objectives apply necessary pressure.

    “A ceasefire could certainly happen sooner – and it’s meaningful that it does – but peace will only come⁢ when the world understands what Putin actually wants,” zelenskyy ​added.

    The ⁢remarks come amid ongoing tensions following Russia’s 2022 invasion, with Kyiv​ consistently urging greater international pressure on Moscow. Zelenskyy’s criticism reflects concerns about⁣ potential⁤ waning Western support‌ for Ukraine.

    No​ immediate response has been issued by U.S. officials, but the rebuke may ⁤reignite debates about Western involvement in the Ukraine ⁢crisis. Analysts suggest Zelenskyy likely aims to push Western ⁤allies toward tougher stances against Russia through these statements.
