According to CCTV News, on Aug. 5, local time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in his regular evening video address that he had spoken with US President Donald Trump that day, with the most important topic being how to quickly end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine fully supports the US initiative for an "immediate ceasefire" and has explored various options and dialogue formats to achieve a ceasefire. "Ukraine previously proposed an 'air silence' initiative to Russia—a complete cessation of missile and drone attacks and attacks on civilian infrastructure, particularly energy systems. However, Russia has repeatedly and blatantly violated these consensuses."
Zelenskyy stated that the key is to make Russia feel pressure from the international community, particularly from the United States, and the threat of harsher sanctions resulting from the war. One key measure is to sanction Russian oil exports.
