He said Russian President Vladimir Putin was unlikely to order Russian forces out of Ukrainian territory without pressure from Trump and called on the US leader to help organize a trilateral meeting.
“I am still sure that America must put great pressure on Putin, otherwise he will not negotiate… Now we ask our US partners to set the date for negotiations. [a] tripartite meeting. “We have always supported these formats, we support President Trump and his team,” Zelensky said.

Zelensky reiterated his support for US actions in the Middle East and said Ukraine would do its best to assist America’s efforts.
“We remember what America has done for Ukraine all these years. But it’s not about money, it’s not about weapons. It’s just about our relationship. We share values… That’s why you can count on us. If we can help more, we will.”
