He said this while speaking with journalists, according to Ukrinform.“I think President Trump wants us at the negotiating table and for us to support this track. I think he genuinely wants a ceasefire and an end to the war. I believe this was his goal from the very beginning,” Zelenskyy said.According to him, Russian leader Vladimir Putin personally fears a ceasefire.“Leaving a full-scale war for a ceasefire and then starting the full-scale war again is not easy for them, economically not easy, socially not easy, internationally not easy. And definitely not easy with those countries that still shake his hand. That’s why it is difficult for the Americans to force him into real negotiations, and that’s why he chooses war for now. But it is possible, very possible, to stop it. More pressure on Russia is needed. Pressure will work,” Zelenskyy added.The very fact of having a ceasefire would lead to peace negotiations, which would be a major achievement, the Ukrainian president believes.“The plan to end the war will not be simple, but it is definitely a path. And if Trump gives the world, first and foremost Ukrainians, the opportunity for such a ceasefire — yes, he should be nominated for the Nobel Prize. We will nominate him from Ukraine,” Zelenskyy stressed.Donald Trump would consider it “a great insult” for the United States if he were not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
