Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the Gaza peace deal achieved under U.S. mediation offers hope that similar pressure could be used to end Russia’s conflict in Ukraine.
In an interview with Fox News, Zelenskyy called the Middle East deal a "real success," praising U.S. President Donald Trump’s role in securing it. "It gives signals for us and hope that with such pressure, what President Trump used in the Middle East to make peace, I hope he will use the same instruments even more to pressure Putin to stop his war in Ukraine," he said.
Zelenskyy’s remarks come as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas enters its first phase, involving mutual withdrawals and the release of hostages. While many analysts warn that the deal’s implementation remains uncertain, its success has drawn global attention to Washington’s renewed diplomatic influence.
For Kyiv, the development is seen as a potential blueprint for renewed negotiations. Zelenskyy said he believes coordinated international pressure and consistent mediation could open a path toward ending hostilities.
Despite the optimism, challenges remain. Moscow has shown no indication of softening its stance, and Ukraine continues to face daily attacks. Yet Zelenskyy insists that recent diplomatic momentum in the Middle East proves peace is achievable through sustained international engagement.
"Such efforts show that even long and painful conflicts can end if there is unity and determination," he said, adding that Ukraine hopes similar determination will be applied to bring peace to Europe.
