Brussels, 18 December (LaPresse) – With the United States, "it's not a simple dialogue, actually. We are at war, the United States can really stop Putin and I am counting on that. I am counting heavily on pressure from the United States‘ on Russia, and ’now the United States is mediating,‘ but ’I would like them to put more pressure on Russia, because I think Putin does not want to stop this war, but if the United States puts more pressure on him, President Trump can." This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a press conference in Brussels.
