These are large-scale agreements that I discussed with president Trump, and I hope that we can implement them all. – told Zelenski during the evening speech.
The Ukrainian president noted that Kiev appreciates the actions taken by the United States to exert force on Moscow on the ceasefire and the end of the war. He besides expressed the belief that the findings reached will strengthen our countries and our allies.
Right now, we must act to force Russia into peace. Yes, Moscow wants to keep fighting. But the question is potential, war resources and money. That's why sanctions are useful. That's why force can work. – he added.
10 days or less
U.S. president Donald Trump announced that if Russia does not decide to conclude an agreement ending the war within 10 days, it will be subject to fresh sanctions. He informed journalists about his decision aboard Air Force One, returning from his visit to Scotland.
He added that since the earlier 50-day ultimatum, he has received no answer from Moscow, which he considered great damage, noting that both sides of the conflict lose about 7,000 soldiers a week. On 14 July, during a gathering in Washington with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Donald Trump announced a 50-day ultimatum. He announced that if president Putin did not end the war in Ukraine at this time, Russia would be included very strict duties.
Commenting on Trump's announcement, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce noted during Tuesday's briefing that the president may not wait 10 days and decide on sanctions earlier.
Attack by Trump's words
On Tuesday, Zelenski pointed out that despite Trump's key declarations about peace in Ukraine, the Russians continued to fire, causing death and wounds in tens of people.
At 2:00 a.m., Russian troops launched a rocket attack on the city of Kamianske – to the area of the city hospital. 3 people died from this attack, including a pregnant woman. Her name was Diana and she was only 23. – wrote the president and added – And it happened after the United States' unequivocal position, supported by the planet that Russia must end this war and proceed to diplomacy.
