Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to cut the deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire from 50 days to just 10–12 days.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s hardening stance on Russia, following Trump’s announcement that he would drastically reduce the timeline for progress toward a ceasefire in Ukraine.
“Clear stance and expressed determination by Donald Trump right on time, when a lot can change through strength for real peace,” Zelenskiy wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“I thank President Trump for his focus on saving lives and stopping this horrible war.”
Speaking in his nightly video address, Zelenskiy described Trump’s position as “particularly significant” given Russia’s ongoing air strikes, which have targeted Ukrainian cities in recent days. He said the mounting attacks only underline the urgency of strong international action.
Zelenskiy also stressed that sanctions remain a vital tool in bringing the war to an end.
“Russia pays attention to sanctions, pays attention to such losses,” he said.
“Ukraine is ready to work productively with the United States, to work with President Trump to end this war with dignity and a secure, lasting peace.”
The comments mark a rare and notable endorsement from Kyiv of Trump’s evolving foreign policy position. The former U.S. president has pledged to bring the conflict to a rapid conclusion, recently cutting his previously stated deadline from 50 days to just 10–12 days.
While Trump has not laid out a detailed plan, Zelenskiy’s remarks suggest a growing openness in Kyiv to dialogue with whoever leads the United States next, so long as Ukraine’s sovereignty and security are respected.
