“We live under constant attacks of Russia. Today there have been numerous attackswith many wounded and one -year -old child among the victims. We have to put an end to the war and stop Russia, and for that we need support“Zelenski said during his meeting with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
Asked if he was willing to redesign the maps, he did not provide a direct answer, preferring to emphasize the importance of American and European support in diplomatic efforts to conclude the conflict. “We need the support of Americans and Europeans in order to continue diplomatic efforts and put an end to the war“Said Zelenski.
The Ukrainian leader also announced that the elections will take place as soon as the security conditions allow. “We need a armistice on land, sea and in the air, so that people can vote democratic. You can't vote during the war“He explained, while Trump joked that if the US was in war in 2028, he would no longer be forced to organize elections.
The meeting came after Trump's discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin, last Friday in Alaska, and raised the possibility of a trilateral summit to start negotiations for peace in Ukraine.
