Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he wants to work “directly” with US President-elect Donald Trump and is open to his ideas, highlighting Kyiv’s eagerness to keep its most important ally onside as Russia intensifies its attacks.
“Of course we will work with Trump. I want to work with him directly,” Zelensky said in an interview with Sky News released Friday, adding that he did not want people around Trump to “destroy” their communication. “I want to share with him ideas and I want to hear from him his ideas,” he added.
The United States is the single largest provider of military assistance to Ukraine and Kyiv is keenly aware that it needs to stay on Trump’s good side to secure future support. According to the US Department of State, the government has contributed $64.1 billion to Ukraine’s war effort since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Zelensky characterized his conversations with Trump during a visit to New York in September as “warm, good, constructive.” He said the discussions were an “important first step,” but that more detailed talks would be needed “until we will have a real plan where Ukraine is strong.”
Zelensky noted that his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, would travel to the US as soon as possible for meetings, including with Trump’s pick to be special envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg.
Kellogg favors a ceasefire and peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv, which would include security guarantees for Ukraine to protect against future Russian invasions.

“Here’s where the border will be and no, you will not become a NATO member”
I sure hope Trump does remember this Harris campaigner.
Good idea.
Kind of obvious that’s what to do.
Putin will have to, too.
He gives up the following to the US:
Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
Jewish Autonomous Oblast
Kamchatka Krai
Khabarovsk Krai
Magadan Oblast
Primorsky Krai
Sakhalin Oblast
Russian Fed gets slivers of Russian Ukraine in exchange and he gets to live.
Ukraine is Ukraine, free and independent.
Zelensky wants whatever lines his pockets with cash. I don’t think Trump is in the mood to dish out more money to anyone in Ukraine, including Zelensky. Hopefully, someone in his administration will tracked down all of the US politicians and their family members who benefited from the money laundering operation that is known as Ukraine.
Send that to Trump!!
Though I’m guessing his decision will be somewhere along those lines.
What a wasteful war and what a shame.
Never would have happend if Trump wasn’t cheated.
But NATO and NEOCONS and dems LOVE wars...especially when the profits and kickbacks are enormous.
The money train from Biden is over and transferred to a Swiss bank.
Hatch Act warnings have been going off in my head for more than a week.
Trump isn’t in office yet.
Z is just trying to save his neck at this point. Meanwhile, Russia took another 39 square kilometers yesterday and is headed for a railroad that will severely hamper Ukraine’s troop and armor etc. movement if taken.
Sounds like the WEF EU Globo Homos are going to be back buying their energy from Putin’s regime ASAP. Too bad for Americans with those energy good jobs now that will be gone. Hopefully, they’ll understand that you have to break a few eggs to Make Russia Great Again.
Russia must have a guarantee of safe sea routes through the Crimea or or it will be a return to the current status quo.
It is an admission he did NOT work directly (or at all) with the vegetable Joe Biden, but rather "the DC Blob's" CIA/State Dept/DoD apparatchiks from Blinken and Sullivan, on down.
Trump told him “you’re either on the bus or under the bus”.
I remember that Trump ended the wars but somehow the dem commies are able to start them right back up.
Little bitch, please! Zelensky would do well to beg for an bolt hole in Latin America to hide in.
Dumb as a bag of hammers and as high as a kite from hopium.
I doubt Mr. Trump will forget that he was impeached over a simple phone call to Ukraine...
