According to Zelensky, the U.S. has the power to bring the war to an end but only by exerting stronger pressure on Putin through sanctions and supplies of advanced weapons to Ukraine.
Ukraine has a chance to end the war with Russia before the U.S. midterm elections in November, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Sky News published on Feb. 27.
“Now I think that we have a chance… it depends on these months, if we will have a chance to finish the war before autumn,” the president said.
“Before elections, important, influential, elections in the United States. If it will be possible to achieve a peace… now we have this window.”
The comments come amid ongoing U.S.-mediated efforts to broker peace between Kyiv and Moscow, which have yet to achieve a breakthrough on ceasefire and territorial issues.

I like the way he is playing the cards he doesn’t have, according to Trump. Putin is unlikely to want a peace agreement, so basically Z is telling Trump to squeeze the life blood out of him for political gain in the USA. Ukraine doesn’t have to give 50% of its mineral resources, or a square inch of territory for this all to work out.
