President Zelensky’s Bold Call for Trump to Back Ukraine
In a recent interview with Newsmax TV, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged former U.S. President Donald Trump to step up his support against Russian forces.
What Zelensky Wants from the U.S.
- “We need a clear push for Russian troops out of Ukraine,” Zelensky said. “The only way forward is a combination of diplomatic pressure and military backing from our partners.”
- He pointed out that “everyone will keep pointing fingers at who’s responsible” – contrasting Biden’s stance with what he expects from Trump. “If Trump can win this, the whole narrative shifts entirely.”
- He added a hopeful note: “I really hope the Trump administration pushes Russia out of all our territory.”
Why Trump Matters
According to Zelensky, the stakes are high. “If Trump succeeds, the world will see that Ukraine has a strong ally on its side. If not, it’s a backward look at a Biden‑led experience.”
Zelensky’s Vision of “Just Peace”
- Diplomacy first – Zelensky acknowledged the need for diplomatic routes, but stressed it shouldn’t come at a loss.
- He warned, “We cannot just wait for a full‑scale invasion. We must act now.”
- Even in a humorous twist, he teased the line between US presidents, saying, “This is the line of Trump, not Biden.”
In short, Ukraine’s president is calling for unequivocal U.S. action to tackle Russian forces head‑on. Whether that comes from the Trump team remains to be seen, but the urgency is clear: every day matters.

EU Leaders Call for a Swift Security Blueprint

During the conference, Zelensky outlined a 2025 plan that will keep pressure on Moscow, in whatever ways necessary, to secure lasting peace. He promised to share these “security guarantees” with the United States, hoping for reciprocal input from the U.S., Europe, the EU, and Great Britain—a key partner.
