Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the war could conclude soon, setting a strategic target to force Russian leadership toward peace by the autumn. Speaking through European diplomatic channels and public addresses reported by outlets including Frankfurter Rundschau, WELT, DiePresse, and SWI swissinfo.ch, Zelenskyy emphasized that every ambassador must actively secure weaponry to strengthen Kyiv’s position.

Kyiv has sharpened its diplomatic and military messaging. President Zelenskyy’s assertions point to a strategy to leverage developments and pressures on Moscow before the end of the year. According to reporting from Swiss and Austrian media outlets such as SWI swissinfo.ch and DiePresse, the Ukrainian administration insists that international partners must accelerate arms deliveries. The objective is to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to engage in peace negotiations.
Zelenskyy’s directive to his diplomatic corps is that every envoy abroad now faces the task of sourcing hardware.
