Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski wants to enter US President Donald Trump before arranging his counterpart in Washington to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“It is very important, otherwise it will look a dialogue on Ukraine without Ukraine. It is still important to partners to discuss their cases first, then a conversation with the enemy,” Zelinski told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
American support was very important for Ukraine as it installed its battle to retreat against the invading Russian forces since the comprehensive invasion began in 2022, when the then US President Joe Biden was in the White House.
The new administration has sent mixed signals on how the US policy has turned under the Trump watch. Some of his officials indicated their support Russia struck with stronger sanctionsWhile the new US Secretary of State said Ukraine Not all lands can be restored under Russian control.
During his campaign, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he could attend the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. More than two weeks in his second presidency, This did not happen.
It is still not clear how the US leader will act to try to force the fighting – although some see the possibility of change with a new president in the Oval Office.
John Herbet, a former American ambassador in Ukraine, Radio Times said He is “optimistic about” that the Trump administration will be able to achieve a “sustainable peace”-but he will not see all the lands occupied by the Russian.
“Their declared goal is a sustainable peace, and not necessarily a fair peace,” he said.
‘I’m here’
In Washington on Friday, Trump said he “may” meet with Zelinski next week, although it was not clear whether this would be a face conversation or a distance.
“I am here,” the American president said, when asked where this meeting could be held.
Trump, who spoke to correspondents in Washington, along with the visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shigro Ishiba, said he would not travel to Ukraine.
The US President also expressed his interest in meeting with Putin, with reference to the “good relationship” that the two were long ago. Putin showed Strawberry words to Trump in the days after a victory in the United States elections last November.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin emphasized the need for patience about the issue of when Putin will speak to Trump.
Watch | Lack of clarity in Trump’s plans at the end of the war:
US President Donald Trump has boasted that he could end the war in Ukraine, but there was no little information about how this happened.
If this happens, the two leaders are expected to discuss Trump’s desire to see the Ukraine war ending sooner, not later.
“Russia is open to negotiations. However, the settlement should come as a result of negotiations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
Metal support, Ukraine and the United States
This week it has appeared that Trump wants Ukraine to provide the United States rare land minerals as a form of payment for the support stipulated in the Battle of Ukraine with Russia.
The idea was presented to Trump last year, and Zelenskyy indicated that it is a conversation that is open Ukraine – provided that security guarantees are part of any such deals with the allies.
“If we are talking about a deal, let’s do a deal, we are just for that,” he told Reuters on Friday.
Zelinski said that less than 20 percent of the mineral resources in Ukraine – including about half of the rare land deposits – are subject to the Russian occupation.
Trump refers to the outcome of man
Russia launched its comprehensive invasion of its neighbor on February 24, 2022, which Putin threw it as a “special military operation”, rather than war. After nearly three years of fighting, Russia occupies nearly five Ukraine, but has failed to overthrow the government in Kiev.

More than 12,500 civilians He has been killed from the beginning of the comprehensive invasion until the end of 2024.
The real number of deaths may be higher than what is mentioned, but the human losses of the conflict are something for Trump Previously highlighted When criticizing the war.
“I would like to see it, on a humanitarian basis,” Trump said in Washington on Friday. “I would like to see this goal. It’s a ridiculous war.”
