This is a very bad sign for everyone.
In a powerful appeal that could reshape global diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the world this weekend of the growing risk of World War 3—and asked President Donald Trump to personally visit Ukraine before finalizing any peace negotiations with Russia.
As President Trump pushes forward on his promise to end the Russia-Ukraine war swiftly, Zelensky is urging caution. In an interview published Sunday, the Ukrainian leader said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has far bigger ambitions than just Ukraine—and that the safety of NATO and the West is at stake.
“If we do not stand firm, Putin will advance further,” Zelensky warned. “This is not a hypothetical risk—it’s a real and growing danger. The Russian empire dreams of reclaiming lands currently under NATO protection.”
Trump’s Leadership Sought as Global Tensions Escalate
The war, now in its third year, has devastated Ukraine and strained international alliances. But President Trump remains committed to fulfilling his campaign promise to broker peace—something he says never would have been necessary if he had remained in office.
“Russia needs to act,” President Trump posted on Truth Social Friday. “Thousands are dying every week in a brutal, unnecessary war—one that never should have started, and absolutely wouldn’t have if I were in office!”
This bold statement resonated with millions of Americans who remember the peace-through-strength foreign policy that kept enemies in check during Trump’s first term.
Zelensky Invites Trump to Witness the War Zone Firsthand
In a rare direct appeal, Zelensky invited Trump to visit the front lines and see the devastation for himself.
“We respect your position,” Zelensky said. “But before any decisions are made, come meet the people—civilians, soldiers, families torn apart by war. Come see the churches, hospitals, and schools destroyed. Then, let’s talk about ending this conflict the right way.”
His message underscores the urgency of the moment—and the importance of strong, experienced leadership.
Kremlin Opens the Door to Peace Talks with Trump
On the Russian side, signs are emerging of possible progress. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Sunday that high-level discussions are underway between Moscow and Washington regarding the war’s future.
“Everything is going very well,” Peskov told Russian state media. “But don’t expect instant results.”
Even more notably, the Kremlin revealed that a face-to-face meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin is being planned—a historic moment that could set the stage for peace talks the Biden administration failed to achieve.
Bottom Line:
President Trump is once again at the center of the global stage, working to prevent another world war and restore order where others have only caused chaos. As the world watches, it’s clear that strong leadership—and firsthand understanding—will be the keys to peace.
