The office of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is trying to organize direct talks between the Ukrainian leader and former US President Donald Trump, sources close to the Ukrainian leader’s office told the Strana.ua news and analysis website. According to them, this is one of the main issues in relations between Kiev and Washington, as Trump “actually controls” the US House of Representatives, which blocks the allocation of funds to Ukraine.
Against this background, a Ukrainian delegation arrived in the United States, which includes the head of the office of the Ukrainian President Andriy Yermak. About this he wrote in his Telegram channel.
“There will be meetings in the White house, Congress, think tanks, with representatives of public organizations. “Formula of peace” of the President, strengthening the defense of Ukraine, all-round deepening of cooperation and many important topics”, – said Yermak about the plans of the trip.
Zelensky, speaking about the prospects for continued support for Kiev if Trump is elected US president, said the views of some Republicans are a danger to Ukraine.
Trump has said many times before that he could negotiate an end to military action in Ukraine in 24 hours if he were US president. Zelensky invited him to Ukraine in November and said he would need 24 minutes to prove a settlement was impossible in 24 hours. Trump declined to accept the invitation and said he did not want to create a “conflict of interest.” The former head of state noted that the administration of incumbent President Joe Biden is now negotiating with Zelensky.
