A few days after the uproar in the Oval Office of the White House, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that he is ready to move forward with the United States.
US President Donald Trump, while addressing a joint session of the US Congress, said that he had received Zelensky's letter and that he was ready to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. "I have received a letter from Zelensky. In the letter, Zelensky has expressed his desire to negotiate to end the Russia-Ukraine war," Trump said.
Trump read Zelensky's letter and said that Ukraine is ready to enter into negotiations for a lasting peace soon. Zelensky is ready to make a mineral deal in exchange for Ukraine's security guarantee from the US.
In a letter written to Trump, Zelensky stated that "I and my team are ready to work together with Trump's strong leadership for lasting peace." "Ukraine is ready to sign an agreement on minerals and security at a time convenient for you," Zelensky wrote.
Immediately after the US announced the suspension of military aid to Ukraine, the Ukrainian president has stated that the debate in the White House through social media is regrettable. After Trump's accusation that he was not ready for negotiations, Zelensky commented that now is the time to settle everything.
'We are ready to end the war. "The first step would be the release of prisoners and an aerial cease-fire, a ban on missiles, a ban on long-range drones, and an end to attacks on energy and other non-military infrastructure," Zelensky wrote. He said that if Russia also complies with these conditions, a cease-fire can also be held at sea.
In a social media post, Zelensky admitted that Friday's meeting was not as expected. Zelensky says that he is confident that the cooperation and communication between the two countries will be constructive in the future.
Zelensky has expressed gratitude for the assistance given by the US to Ukraine. "We value the assistance provided by the United States to protect the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine," Zelensky wrote.
Zelensky had a heated exchange with Trump and US Vice President JD Vance during the talks at the White House last Friday. Because of this, the agreement between the two countries to give the US access to Ukrainian minerals including 'rare earth' was broken.
During the conversation, Trump accused Zelensky of wanting to cause the third world war.
