Zelenskyy believes Trump is key to ending war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country wants “security guarantees” before any talks to end the Ukraine-Russia war. Mr. Zelenskyy made his remarks on Feb. 14 during a meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference. Shortly before, Mr. Zelenskyy said he would only agree to meet in person with Russian leader Vladimir Putin after a common plan is negotiated with U.S. President Trump. Mr. Zelenskyy said he believes Mr. Trump is the key to ending the war and said the U.S. president gave him his telephone number.

Ukraine is exhausted. But it’s still determined to resist Russia.
