Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed a desire to mend relations with US President Donald Trump following a public clash in the Oval Office. In his first public comments since Trump halted US military aid to Ukraine, Zelensky stated that he wants to work under Trump’s leadership to secure lasting peace in Ukraine. Russia has supported the suspension of US-Ukraine aid, claiming it could push Kyiv towards a peace process.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is ready to negotiate for peace, with the first steps being the release of prisoners and a truce in the air and sea. He expressed gratitude for US support in maintaining Ukraine’s independence and mentioned a potential deal to give the US preferential access to Ukraine’s natural resources and minerals.
Talks between US and Russian officials to end the war have caused concern in Kyiv and Europe, with fears that any deal could threaten Ukraine’s future. Zelensky reiterated Ukraine’s commitment to working with the US to reach a strong final agreement. Despite the challenges faced by the recent public clash, Zelensky remains hopeful for productive cooperation in the future.
