\"US<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Jan. 22 that any effective peacekeeping force in Ukraine must include U.S. troops, emphasizing the critical role of the United States in deterring Russian aggression. <\/p>\n

Speaking with Bloomberg<\/a>‘s Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Zelensky dismissed the idea that European allies could provide sufficient military support independently. “It can\u2019t be without the United States,” he said. “Even if some European friends think it can be, no it can\u2019t be. Nobody will risk without the United States.”<\/p>\n

As Donald Trump assumes office with plans to engage directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelensky seeks to secure long-term U.S. support while urging China to leverage its influence <\/a>on Russia. <\/p>\n

Frustrated by limited communication with Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a>, he said: “He can push Putin for peace, I\u2019m sure. President Trump is the strongest<\/a> \u2014 and Xi Jinping. I think there\u2019s no other ally who can really do it. His economy, Putin, depends very much on China.”<\/p>\n

Zelensky stressed the importance of Ukraine<\/a>\u2019s involvement in any negotiations about its future, warning against deals made without Kyiv\u2019s input, as he believes happened during the Minsk talks in 2015. “We do not want this to happen behind the backs of Ukraine,” he said. “I very much believe that the U.S. won\u2019t do that, although I\u2019m not sure that earlier this did not happen. Here I\u2019m speaking not just about America, but some European partners.”<\/p>\n

With Trump pledging a swift end to the war and planning talks with Putin<\/a>, Zelensky is working to frame the negotiations as an opportunity for the U.S. to demonstrate strength. <\/p>\n

“Ending the war should be a victory for Trump, not for Putin,” he told Bloomberg, adding that without strong and irreversible security guarantees from the U.S. and Europe, a ceasefire could allow Russia to rearm and renew its offensive. “The only question is what security guarantees and honestly I want to have understanding before the talks,” he said.<\/p>\n

Zelensky<\/a> has also faced challenges regarding domestic mobilization efforts, resisting pressure to expand conscription in Ukraine. Western allies, including the U.S., have urged lowering the age of conscription<\/a> to bolster manpower. <\/p>\n

However, Zelensky argued that the focus should be on supplying weapons rather than drafting more soldiers. “Why mobilize even younger people,” he said. “So that there are even more people without weapons?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n
\u2018We can do it the easy way or the hard way,\u2019 Trump says to Russia on ending the war in Ukraine<\/div>\n
\u201cIf a deal is not reached, I will have no other choice but to put high levels of taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States and other participating countries,\u201d President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social.<\/div>\n
