Zelensky said on Tuesday afternoon that he is willing to work “under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts”.
He said: “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.”
Zelensky appears to have bent to Trump’s will, who has demanded that Kyiv follow his lead on getting to peace.
It follows the two leaders’ shouting match in the Oval Office on Friday where Trump told Zelensky he was “gambling with World War Three” before booting him out.
Zelensky continued: “We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.
“And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.”
The Ukrainian also laid out his own plan to get to a ceasefire and get the parties to the negotiating table.
He said: “We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same.
“Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.”
