What Preceded This

CNN notes that Trump's comments came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's advisor, Dmytro Litvin, called for a "deeper approach" to resolving the issue from Kyiv's allies.

The remarks followed recent statements from Trump's special representative for Ukraine and Russia, Kurt Volker. In a comment to Reuters, he said that the U.S. wants elections to take place in Ukraine by the end of the year, especially if a ceasefire with the Russian Federation is achieved in the coming months.

In response, Zelensky's advisor Litvin stated that Volker's plan is a failure if it consists only of a ceasefire and holding elections.

"In response to Reuters' question regarding Mr. Volker's statements about a ceasefire and elections - we have not seen the full interview with Volker, only a few quotes about the elections, so it is difficult to fully assess his position. But if his plan is merely a ceasefire and elections, then that is a failed plan - Putin cannot be intimidated by just these two things," Litvin wrote on social media platform X.
