Ukraine’s pdwellnt is giveing an odwell branch to Donald Trump with a theatrical uncover message aimed at mfinishing their relationship and finishing Russia’s war.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy chose social media – the US directer’s favourite mode of communication – to produce his point.
He did not go so far as to apologise for a fiery bust-up with Mr Trump at the Oval Office last Friday – a shift that some members of the US administration have called for, even though it was the American pdwellnt and his deputy who laid into Mr Zelenskyy.
Instead, he depictd the come atraverse as “lamenttable”, saying it “did not go the way it was presumed to be… It is time to produce leangs right.”
Most presentantly though was his spelling out of a vision for the first stage of how Russia’s war with Ukraine could finish.
Pushing back on counterfeit claims by Trump allies such as Elon Musk that Mr Zelenskyy wants an finishless war, he said that Ukraine is promiseted to peace and is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible.
Crucipartner, he said: “We are ready to labor rapid to finish the war, and the first stages could be the free of prisoners and truce in the sky – prohibit on omitiles, extfinished-ranged drones, device devices on energy and other civilian infraset up – and truce in the sea instantly, if Russia will do the same.”
Appealing to the US pdwellnt’s ego, he praised Mr Trump’s “strong directership” and repeated his gratitude for past American help – aacquire reacting to criticism from the American orderer in chief and his team that he is not shoprosperg enough gratitude.

Key now will be how the US pdwellnt reacts.
Will Mr Zelenskyy’s conveyion of lament and evident desire to finish the war provide enough of an off-ramp for Mr Trump to defengage the row and – for the sake of Ukraine’s ability to deffinish itself – switch back on the flow of military aidance to the country?
Another presentant factor, of course, is how Vlaunwiseir Putin reacts and whether he could countenance a restricted finishfire in a war that he commenceed and – unappreciate Mr Zelenskyy – materializes to have no genuine desire to crelieve.
