Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that President Donald Trump’s ability to successfully negotiate a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas provides hope for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
In a social media post on Saturday, the Ukrainian leader reported a “very positive and productive” call with President Trump. He said that he congratulated Trump on his success in the Middle East, “which is an outstanding achievement.”
“If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped as well—including the Russian war,” Zelensky wrote in English on X and Facebook.
The Middle-Eastern peace deal was drawn up by Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, alongside the Qatari and Egyptian Governments. Israel and Hamas both agreed to the first phase of the deal, which they entered into on Friday.
“I informed President Trump about Russia’s attacks on our energy system—and I appreciate his willingness to support us. We discussed opportunities to bolster our air defense, as well as concrete agreements that we are working on to ensure this,” he said.
Russia had launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy grid on Friday, one day before Zelensky’s call with Trump. The attack took out power to parts of the capital city, Kyiv, and nine other regions in Ukraine.
“There needs to be readiness on the Russian side to engage in real diplomacy,” said Zelensky, “this can be achieved through strength. Thank you, Mr. President!”

Hears something very interesting the other day and it rang very true for me.
To paraphrase: “Wars aren’t won because the winners win. They’re won when the loser has had enough.”
The war in Ukraine won’t end until either Zelensky or Putin have had enough.
Lying piece of garbage.
excellent comment!!!
What will be “enough” for Putin’s Russia here?
Best guess pleaser and yes, I am aware that escalation risks nuclear response. Everything in life involves risks, including surrendering to nuclear blackmail.
The alternative is for Ukraine to lose more lives and territory.
Zelensky to Trump: ‘Surely other wars can be stopped’
Why is he calling our President, “Shirley”?
LOL!
I’m beginning to get the feeling that Trump is going to deal with Ukraine, last. He has a lot of irons in the fire, and the shiny tinsel of the ‘Rats’ “precious” may be just the distraction he needs.
Short of US commitment to total war, nothing comes to mind.
Why are you posting a GIF of your dance moves next to a picture of Zelensky?
You seem to wear your ignorance on your sleeve with pride.
There is no such relationship between the US and Ukraine.
Question for "Z".....Had enough???
I'm no expert on Putin or Russia, but usually it's when the civilian population decides that they're tired of losing their young men on the battlefield for a dubious cause.
Putin sold this war to his people as de-NAZIfication of Ukraine, and you have to be a very astute student of WWII (which I am NOT) to realize how deeply rooted the anti-NAZI sentiment still is among Russians today.
Based on the number of people killed (on both sides), the Eastern Front war between Germany and the USSR was the main battlefield, and Western Front in Europe was a secondary theater.
Putin has failed to achieve regime change in Ukraine as he promised, so how much longer will Russian mothers put up with losing their sons there? This may be why Putin has enlisted help from North Korea and Chechnya to provide troops in Ukraine. He doesn't want to overtax his domestic Russian draft-age males.
The peace deal in the middle east certainly is a breakthrough, and one of my first thoughts was just that it may hearken such a deal with Ukraine and Russia.
Prayers up!
