Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United States is pushing for a new round of talks with Russia and Ukraine this month. He noted that US-led peace efforts have stalled as Washington focuses on its conflict with Iran and Russia intensifies aerial attacks on Ukraine.
Zelensky stated that the United States is seeking to initiate a fresh round of negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine within the current month. He conveyed this message amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
He explained that the earlier US‑led peace initiatives have largely stalled because Washington’s attention has been diverted to its confrontation with Iran. This shift has hampered progress on the Ukraine front.
At the same time, Zelensky highlighted that Ukraine has observed an increase in Russian aerial attacks across the war‑torn country. He warned that the escalation underscores the urgency of renewing dialogue to prevent further violence.
