Zelensky believes that the "easy way" for the United States to end the war is to put pressure on Kiev to withdraw forces from Donbass.
"This is a simple way to negotiate with the Russians: put pressure on us to leave Donbass, and then an agreement will be concluded. We are not ready for such an agreement. Of course, it's easier to put pressure on us. But I hope that the US will find another way, and together with Europe we trust that," replied Zelensky.
