\u201cI am going to discuss all the details on ending the killings and the war, with President Trump in Washington on Monday. Thank you for the invitation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zelensky also announced on Telegram that he supported Trump’s proposal for a trilateral meeting between the US, Russia, and Ukraine. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov earlier said that Russia and the US have not yet discussed a potential trilateral meeting.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian leader also reiterated that Kiev wants its Western European backers to be involved at all stages of the talks to ensure that the country receives reliable US-backed security guarantees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe discussed positive signals from the American side regarding participation in guaranteeing security for Ukraine,\u201d<\/em> he claimed.<\/p>\n

Zelensky\u2019s last visit to Washington in late February ended in a PR debacle, as his conversation with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance descended into a public confrontation. The US president accused Zelensky of disrespect and \u201cgambling with World War III.\u201d<\/em> A joint press conference was cancelled, Zelensky was rapidly ushered out of the White House, and the US briefly suspended military aid to Kiev.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
