Zelenskyy says US has not issued any ultimatum about "peace deal by Christmas"

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the American side had not set a deadline by which US President Donald Trump wants to see a final agreement to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Details: Zelenskyy noted that the United States wants to see the results of its diplomatic efforts to end the Russo-Ukrainian war as soon as possible but has not issued any ultimatums with fixed dates.

Quote: "There were no specific ultimatum frameworks or dates. The fact that everyone wants to end this as soon as possible is true. The US wants to end it faster – we hear this from them. I think they really wanted, and perhaps still want, to have full clarity on where we stand with this agreement by Christmas. For us, the result matters. Of course, we would like it earlier, but the result is what matters."

Background: The Financial Times recently reported, citing its sources, that Trump hopes to finalise the peace deal between Ukraine and Russia "by Christmas".
