Zelenskyy Says “Putin Will Die Soon” and Urges Trump to Hold the Line on Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn’t holding back—he believes Vladimir Putin’s days are numbered and wants the U.S. to keep up the pressure on Russia, no matter what demands come from the Kremlin.
Speaking after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Zelenskyy said, “Everything will end” when Putin is gone, claiming the Russian leader is terrified of his own people. He also warned the U.S. against lifting sanctions, despite Russia insisting it won’t stick to a ceasefire in the Black Sea unless economic restrictions on food and fertilizer trade are removed.
“I hope [the U.S. won’t cave]. God bless, they will. But we’ll see,” Zelenskyy said.
Meanwhile, Macron floated the idea of a European force that could be deployed to Ukraine under a future peace deal something that could include combat units, training operations, and efforts to keep Russia from launching another attack. The European Union is already working on what they’re calling a “steel porcupine strategy” to make Ukraine an even tougher target for Russia.
A big meeting in Paris is set for Thursday, where leaders from 30 nations will discuss the idea of sending forces to Ukraine. However, the U.S. won’t be at the table, and Trump’s administration has shown little interest in the plan.
For now, Zelenskyy is making it clear: he doesn’t trust Putin, he doesn’t want sanctions lifted, and he wants the West to stand firm. Whether Trump and other leaders listen remains to be seen.
