<\/p>\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has told Russia to halt its missile and drone attacks if it truly seeks peace negotiations. His statement comes after a devastating wave of aerial strikes on Ukraine, including overnight attacks on Kharkiv.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want talks, don\u2019t target people with ballistic missiles,\u201d Zelensky said, condemning the relentless bombardment. According to him, Russia launched more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 bombs, and over 20 missiles at Ukraine in the past week alone.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian leader made these remarks after a diplomatic tour in the United States and Europe, where he sought further support for Ukraine\u2019s defense. His visit included a tense Oval Office meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, where he defended Ukraine\u2019s position amid growing divisions in the West.<\/p>\n
Russia has reacted sharply to Zelensky\u2019s comments, accusing him of displaying \u201ca total lack of diplomatic ability.\u201d The Kremlin also claimed that divisions are emerging among Ukraine\u2019s Western allies, signaling what it calls \u201cthe fragmentation of the West.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed a partial one-month truce in Ukraine as a possible step toward broader peace talks. While details of the proposal remain unclear, it is seen as an attempt to ease hostilities and create room for negotiations.<\/p>\n
Analysts remain skeptical about the feasibility of a truce, given Russia\u2019s continued military offensives and Ukraine\u2019s insistence on the full restoration of its territorial integrity. Moscow has not officially responded to Macron\u2019s suggestion, but past ceasefire efforts have largely failed due to violations from both sides.<\/p>\n
Zelensky continues to push for increased military aid from Western allies, arguing that only sustained pressure can force Russia to the negotiating table on Ukraine\u2019s terms. However, political shifts in the U.S. and Europe have raised concerns about the long-term commitment of Kyiv\u2019s partners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the war grinds on, Ukraine faces mounting challenges both on the battlefield and in the diplomatic arena. With ongoing airstrikes and no clear path to peace, Zelensky\u2019s call for an end to attacks before talks may be a difficult demand for Russia to meet.<\/p>\n Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has told Russia to halt its missile and drone attacks if it truly seeks peace negotiations.
