On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed optimism about the possibility of ending the war with Russia, following Ukraine’s acceptance of a U.S. proposal for a 30-day interim ceasefire.

Zelenskyy stated on X that there is a real chance to end the war quickly and secure peace. “We have solid security understandings with our European partners, and we are now close to the first step in ending the war silence,” he said.

While speaking to reporters, Zelenskyy urged the U.S. and other allies to put pressure on Moscow, emphasizing that Russian President Vladimir Putin would likely delay reaching a ceasefire for as long as possible.

“If there is a strong response from the United States, they will not let them play around. And if there are steps that Russia is not afraid of, they will delay the process,” Zelenskyy added.

The Ukrainian leader mentioned that a ceasefire along a 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) frontline could be monitored with the help of U.S. satellites and intelligence.

This comes after the U.S. resumed intelligence sharing and military aid following meetings between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia this week, during which Ukraine agreed to the ceasefire.

Zelenskyy also noted that discussions at the meeting touched on territorial issues, acknowledging that resolving them would require difficult negotiations.

As the war enters its fourth year, Russian forces control nearly a fifth of Ukrainian territory and have made significant advances in the eastern Donetsk region in recent months.
