When asked what just peace means he pointed out that the war should have never started, and stressed that Putin kills people, so “we need to do everything to pressure him to stop this war.”

“How to stop the war? To pressure him as we can,” Zelensky stated.
He also highlighted the United States’ role as a leader in international support for Ukraine.
“We value the support of the United States, we are thankful to the United States and people of America. And of course we understand that the United States can be the leader through any negotiations,” the Ukrainian President noted.
