"Better to walk away without a deal than to sign a bad one": Zelenskyy sets conditions for Trump to end the war

I would rather walk away without any deal than force my people to accept a bad one: Zelenskyy addresses Trump with his own initiative — he urges his most powerful ally not to miss the opportunity to establish peace.

Main points:
- For Trump, there is no greater victory than stopping the war between Russia and Ukraine — it would be the paramount achievement for his legacy.
- The most advantageous for Trump — to achieve this before the midterm elections. Fewer casualties — yes, but it is also a political success.
- Zelenskyy is ready for negotiations only under fair conditions — a достойний and long-lasting peace is needed, not a rushed deal for political purposes.
- He is not opposed to a referendum or elections, but not through an unfavorable deal or loss of territories.
- The first step should be security guarantees from the USA and Europe — so that after a ceasefire, Ukraine is protected from new aggression.
