Actions were taken to compel Ukraine to surrender

In a Sunday interview for the agency Zelenskyy presented a number of Washington's actions that he considers unfriendly to Ukraine. He mentioned among them the limitation of internet speed for Starlink, as well as delays in the delivery of intercept missiles to Patriot systems. - I believe actions were taken to compel Ukraine to capitulate - said the Ukrainian leader. - I do not claim that this is the goal of our partners. I do not want to think that our American partners believe that the war with Russia can be ended faster at the expense of Ukraine. But that is how it looks - he added. Zelenskyy has a proposal for Trump The President of Ukraine presented a new proposal, which assumes fulfilling President Trump's demand to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries in exchange for Ukraine to receive a larger number of missiles for Patriot air defense systems - reports Bloomberg. - We have dangerous days ahead related to the elections - said Zelenskyy, referring to the supplementary elections planned for November 3 in the US Congress. - My latest version was as follows: we do not attack Russian diesel, but you provide us with missiles for Patriot systems to protect our objects. However, they simply want us to stop attacking diesel. And if (those objects) strike, they cut us off from something - said the Ukrainian president. "After the elections life will go on" Zelenskyy expressed the conviction that relations with the US can improve after the elections to Congress. - During the election period, politics becomes very aggressive. I think these relations are in agony now, but after the elections life will go on and I believe the situation will calm down - said the Ukrainian president. He also informed that the United States is delaying the delivery of intercept missiles to Patriot air defense systems, which are used to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles. - We paid for the armament, including for missiles to combat ballistic missiles, as part of the PURL program - said Zelenskyy. He added that some deliveries have already been approved by the American side, and the rest have not. - And this is not a technical issue - he admitted. "Trump is unable to force Putin to end the war" As Zelenskyy conveyed, the United States currently delivers only 12 intercept missiles to Ukraine per month to Patriot systems, which is about a quarter of the amount delivered under the Biden administration. For the presidency of Trump, Americans sell Ukraine these missiles, while the Biden administration provided them free of charge as military aid. - I think the President of the United States maintains good relations with (Vladimir) Putin - assessed Zelenskyy. - However, there is a problem: currently Trump is unable to force Putin to end the war - he added. Earlier, Zelenskyy spoke with the representatives of the US president, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, about which he informed on the X portal. "Peace comes only through strength and cooperation based on trust. We are doing everything in our power to achieve this and to ensure that America's position is strong and helps bring peace closer. The peace that everyone, except Russia, has been waiting for over the last four and a half years" - wrote the President of Ukraine after the conversations. He informed that particular attention was paid to discussing the understandings from Florida. "Our teams maintain almost non-stop contact. We are also preparing the next steps in diplomacy. We constantly inform our partners about the real situation with Russian strikes, which do not cease for a single minute, and about air defense issues" - informed Zelenskyy. He added that a lot depends precisely on the US position. "Ukraine remains ready to work constructively, honestly, and towards a real result. I thank everyone in America who support Ukraine and this particular approach" - he concluded.
