Zelensky Announces Upcoming Talks with Trump on Strengthening Sanctions Against Russia
Ukrainian President Zelensky seeks to leverage U.S. support by urging President Trump to impose stronger sanctions to pressure Russia into diplomatic talks amid ongoing conflict.
- In Copenhagen, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he hopes to speak `soon` with U.S. President Donald Trump to press for new sanctions on Russia and will meet other European leaders in Paris on Thursday.
- Kyiv is pressing for a European peacekeeping force and Nato-style defence guarantees if membership is off the table, citing bilateral agreements including one with Denmark as a solid basis and noting U.S. signals of a backstop.
- Zelensky highlighted Donetsk Oblast has become a powerful defense point, claiming Russian forces lost over 100,000 troops despite advances near Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka failing to consolidate gains.
- The U.S. has so far abstained from imposing war-related sanctions under President Donald Trump, and despite earlier threats of `severe` tariffs, Washington has applied a 25% tariff on India.
- Zelensky argued tighter sanctions could push Russian President Vladimir Putin toward diplomacy and leader-level talks the Kremlin has avoided, while he insists on a full ceasefire before negotiations.
