Zelenskyy expects Trump to not tolerate Putin's antics
Journalists asked the head of state how events would develop if official Moscow did not want to sign a peace agreement and end the war.
According to Zelensky, it is really important to prepare for the fact that Putin will simultaneously cancel the efforts of Ukraine, the US, and the EU on this path.
However, according to the Ukrainian leader, Trump will not leave the breakdown of peace talks unanswered.
I think America will pressure us with sanctions and give us more weapons if he rejects everything. I think this is a fair request to the Americans. Because in my opinion, the logic is this: if the Americans are ready to give security guarantees to Ukraine and apply strong guarantees if Putin violates it, then tell me frankly how this is different from if Putin does not want to finish?

According to the head of state, if peace efforts fail, Trump should help Ukraine finally fight off Russia.
"Then give us at least part of these guarantees so that we can fight back against Putin. Air defense, and give us long range," Zelenskyy emphasized.
