Zelenskiy Pushes for U.S. Intervention in New Peace Strategy

Zelenskiy is calling on Washington to shift from passive support to active pressure on the Kremlin, aiming to force a pivot toward negotiation before the next mobilization cycle begins. By framing the diplomatic outreach as a preventive measure, Kyiv is attempting to secure stronger defense commitments alongside a push for a structured end to the hostilities. The strategy rests on the premise that Western leverage remains the primary tool to deter further Russian escalation, which intelligence reports suggest is already being mapped out under the guise of domestic electoral necessity.
