Volodymyr Zelensky said he is “ready to come to the negotiation table as soon as possible” with Donald Trump to secure peace.
After Washington halted military aid for Ukraine, Mr Zelensky said it was “regrettable” what happened in their Oval Office meeting and told the US president that “it is time to make things right”.
“None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians,” the Ukrainian leader said, praising Mr Trump’s “strong leadership”.

His personal credibility is damaged beyond repair.
The issues with Zelensky were outlined by Marco Rubio more than a week before the White House meeting in the interview with Catherine Herridge and how he was making public statements contrary to what he already agreed to with Rubio and others prior to that. The White House meeting was supposed to be a productive, even celebratory meeting about reaching the agreement and signing it. Instead, Zelensky did what he did. And of course the media and the Democrats acted like it was Trump who caught Zelensky off guard when we know it was Zelensky and this was publicly known already. That’s why Rubio’s expression was furious during that meeting. Zelensky was acting totally out of turn.
You have nothing else to ‘negotiate’ Z. Do what the President wants you to and STFU.
I guess the closed door meetings with European leaders convinced him that Europe does not have what he needs to keep the scam going, therefore, accept the U.S. offer or go it alone.
“I’ll bet “Z” does wear a suit....and Trump will come in his golf clothes...That would be....so Trump. lol”
We can dream lol
Does that mean he wants to renegotiate the terms?
Just needed to add...and I am ashamed at my lack of respect to both the President and Vice President and also apologize for not dressing appropriately. Please accept my sincere apology for these transgressions.
I don't agree with you on this. Trump should be magnanimous, let this statement by Zelenskyy be good enough for an apology, let Zelenskyy come back and sign the minerals deal.
After the signing, Trump can announce the immediate restoration of supplies to Ukraine.
If Zelenskyy walks again, it's pretty obvious who wants peace and who wants war.
After the signing, Trump could then get on the phone with Putin and a ceasefire is possible by this weekend. STOP THE KILLING & WOUNDING of 13,000+ people per DAY!
We'll find out tonight how Trump views it.
It’s no longer a negotiating table it’s now a signing table, which means it’s going to be a short visit and no lunch.
“Don’t bother.”
Zelensky is unstable and his own, and his people’s worst enemy.
I’m sure that, like Reagan, President Trump would never appear in the oval office in casual clothes.
