Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the U.S. is exploring the possibility of de-escalating hostilities with Moscow during the winter and restarting diplomatic negotiations. However, Moscow continued to target Kyiv on Tuesday, launching a missile barrage that killed at least two people.
Speaking to Axios, Zelenskyy said Washington could make the push as he feels that Russian President Vladimir Putin "needs" U.S. counterpart Donald Trump and doesn't want to "upset him" ahead of the midterms. Asked if Putin could want to give Trump a win before, he said "yeah."
