According to Reuters, Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelannsky said on Tuesday that he expressed regret over the extraordinary confrontation of the Oval Office with Donald Trump last week and “wanted to make things correct”, adding that Kiev is ready to come to the negotiation table as soon as possible.
In a statement released a day after Trump stopped military aid to Ukraine, Zelinsky said he was ready to sign “at any time and in any simple form”, which has access to the United States Ukrainian minerals. When he left the Washington visit after the Oval Office argument with Trump on Friday, he left the deal on the table.
“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,” Zilnsky said in his statement on X. Zilnski said in his statement on X.
“My team and my team are ready to work under the strong leadership of President Trump, which is peace.”
The statement does not mention the interval in US military supplies, which is the latest step by Trump to improve US policy on Ukraine and to adopt further reconciliation on Russia.
But the clear purpose of this statement was to emphasize Kiev’s thankfulness during the end of the explosion in the White House on Friday, during which Trump and Vice President JD Venus inadequate Zilnski for our support and efforts to end the war.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio then said that Zillski should apologize.
“We really appreciate how much the United States has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.” “Our meeting in Washington in the White House on Friday did not go like the way it was considered. It is a pity that this happened. Now is the time to fix things.”
Zlinski presented a way towards a peace deal, which he said if Russia did the same, it was released and the prisoners could begin with and stop the maritime attacks.
“Then we want to move forward very fast in all the next steps and work with the United States to agree on a strong final agreement.”
Trump to address the Congress
Earlier, Zilnski’s Prime Minister denies Shamel, saying that Ukrainian forces could fight against Russian troops in the battlefield, but that KIF would do everything possible to cooperate with the United States.
“We will continue to work with the United States calmly through all the available channels,” said Shayl. “We have only one plan – to win and survive. Either we win, or plan B will be written by someone else. “
The Kremlin said for his part that reducing military aid to Ukraine was a great possible move towards peace, though he was still waiting for Trump’s move.
It is expected that in a major speech to the Congress on Tuesday after Trump, it will further outline its plans for Ukraine and Russia.
Its sudden axis toward Russia can be the most dramatic American geographical political change in generations. Defending Europe from the hostility of the Kremlin has been a US foreign and defensive policy under the 1940s since the 1940s.
Trump’s tactics have surprised the Democrats, but there has been no shortage or push from Republican leaders in the Congress, including many people who were once strong, Ukraine.
“By freezing military aid to Ukraine, President Trump has kicked Putin to open the door to expand his violent aggression against innocent Ukraine,” said Jain Shaheen, senior Democrats of the Senate’s foreign relations committee.
Kiev has relied on US and European military aid to stop a major and better armed enemy in the three years of the war, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides.
Shahmal said that Kiev is doing more to add its military production, especially in drones. But if US aid ends, air defense can be a special problem, especially the Patriot batteries, which are the only defense against Ukraine’s Russian ballistic missiles, which is aimed at its cities.
Michael Kofman, a senior colleague of Carnegie Endowment, said the US cut off was “very important, but it was not as effective before it was before, because Ukraine now relies less on direct aid to US military aid.”
Pressure on Europe
This interval has more pressure on European allies, who have publicly embraced Zelonsky since the shock of the Oval Office led by Britain and France, whose leaders visited the White House last week and offered the military to help protect possible ceasefire.
European residents are running to increase their military spending. European Commission President Ursola Van Deer Leene on Tuesday unveiled proposals to increase defense spending in the European Union, which he said could mobilize up to 800 billion euros ($ 840 billion). On Thursday, a block of 27 countries is conducting an emergency summit.
French Prime Minister Francois Bio was strongly criticized by Trump’s move.
He said during the parliamentary debate, “suspending a country during the war in the attack means that the invading country will abandon and accept or hope that the attacker will win.”
The Ukrainian residents, who have suffered a three -year war against the more powerful enemy, were stunned by the move to deceive many as a fraud. Ukraine’s Foreign Affairs Committee chief, Olexander Maryzco, said it seems that Trump is “pushing us towards capitoration”.
“Yes, it’s a fraud, let’s say like it is.” “But let’s hope that the US civil society and the European Union’s elites will not leave us alone.”
