WATCH: Volodymyr Zelenskyy releases peace offering to Donald Trump on peace
Following a strained meeting between the two leaders in the Oval Office, the Ukrainian leader is now trying to patch things up for the sake of his country.
Following a tension-filled meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Officer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has released a post on X tonight (Monday) seeking to restore relations with the President.
In his post, Zelenskyy said that:
New defense packages, strengthened air defense, and even more investments in our defense industry. Over the past few weeks, European countries have made dozens of decisions to increase support for Ukraine. Strong positions on the frontline and strong diplomacy must work together to achieve a just and lasting peace.
Under U.S. leadership and in cooperation with all of Europe, this is absolutely achievable. Peace is our shared goal.
We are grateful to all partners who, together with Ukraine, bring peace closer for all our people every day!
Of particular importance in this statement, aside from stressing that it all needs to take place under US leadership, is the repeated emphasis on peace, something which President Trump has taken as a hallmark and overarching goal of his administration in dealing with conflicts throughout the world.
