Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he is ready to sign a minerals and security agreement with the United States and work for peace under the leadership of President Donald Trump.
While acknowledging that his meeting with President Donald Trump did not go as planned, Zelensky reiterated Ukraine's commitment to peace in a post on "X": "Our meeting in Washington, at the White House, did not go as planned. It is a pity that it happened this way. It is time to fix things."
“Ukraine is ready to sit at the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring about lasting peace. No one wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I are ready to work under the strong leadership of President Trump to achieve a lasting peace,” the Ukrainian President added.
Zelensky's full post on X:
I want to reiterate Ukraine's commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring about a lasting peace. No one wants peace more than the Ukrainian people. My team and I are ready to work under the strong leadership of President Trump to achieve a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work quickly to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and a ceasefire in the skies – a ban on missiles, long-range drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure – and a ceasefire at sea immediately, if Russia does the same. Then we want to move very quickly through all the next stages and work with the US to agree on a final agreement.
We truly appreciate how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump gave Ukraine Javelins. We are grateful for that.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go as planned. It is unfortunate that it happened this way. It is time to set things right. We wish that future cooperation and communication will be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step towards greater security and solid security guarantees, and I really hope that it will work effectively.
