Zelenskyy: Ukraine ready for decisive peace moves as US talks intensify

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Kyiv remains in constant contact with its negotiating partners, particularly the United States, as it pushes for decisions aimed at securing a lasting peace.

In a message posted on Telegram, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was prepared to move quickly if meaningful proposals emerged.

“Almost every hour, our negotiating team is in contact,” he wrote.

“We are communicating with our partners – with the American side – about truly effective formats and truly necessary results. Ukraine is ready for meetings, Ukraine is ready for decisions.”

He added that Kyiv expected its allies to act “as effectively as possible – in Europe, in the United States, everywhere”, saying this was essential for achieving long-term security.

Zelenskyy thanked Washington for its efforts to stop strikes on energy infrastructure, an issue that has repeatedly strained Ukraine’s power grid during the war.

“Thank you, America, for the efforts to halt strikes on energy. We hope the United States can make this happen,” he said.

Referring to a statement by the US president earlier in the day, Zelenskyy said the coming hours would test whether commitments translated into action on the ground.

“The situation tonight and over these days – the real situation at our energy facilities and in our cities – will show how things stand,” he wrote, ending his message with: “Glory to Ukraine!”
