President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday that Ukraine would “quickly, very reasonable” on the agreement to allow the United States to obtain its natural resources “quickly and very reasonable”, which is clearly urgently needed to curb the Trump-related President Pu's tensions over dealing with each other.
Tingfu has been committed to strengthening his negotiating status as the United States and Russia openly negotiate to end the war – with or without Ukraine's participation. During a series of diplomatic relations on Thursday and Friday, Mr. Zelensky spoke with six leaders from Europe and Canada to support other sources of support.
However, Trump said in a radio interview on Friday that the Ukrainian president does not need to attend talks aimed at ending conflicts on the soil.
Mr. Trump told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that he had been watching Mr. Zelensky “negotiate” without a card. ”
“And you're tired of it,” Trump said. “You just hate it. And I have it.”
Kiev and Moscow negotiated directly at the beginning of the invasion, but since April 2022, negotiations have been conducted only on prisoners of war exchanges and returning from Russia to Ukrainian children.
Ukraine first proposed the idea of trading natural resources for US aid, but when the U.S. proposal suggested that Kiev provide profits from 50% of the country's mineral and energy resources, Mr. Zelensky refused. Mr. Zelensky also objected to the deal not including the U.S. security commitment.
Several aides for Mr Zelensky believe the new version of the agreement, which was being discussed on Thursday, solved the issues and has now been advised to sign the agreement. Axios first reported on the shift in the position of some Ukrainian officials on the deal.
Mr. Zelensky derailed last week's talks after he refused to sign immediately the version introduced to him by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Mr. Trump responded enormously to Mr. Zelensky's moral status in the conflict, falsely saying that Ukrainian leaders began a full-scale war that began in 2022 with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky, in turn, lives in a “network of false information.”
But the pressure on Keefe continues. Ukrainian leaders need to “adjust this and look at it carefully and sign the deal,” U.S. national security adviser Mike Waltz said in an interview with Fox & Friends on Thursday.
Mr. Zelensky suggested that talks were held in a nightly speech by Ukrainians on Thursday after Kiev held a meeting with the Trump administration to Ukraine and Russia, General Keith Kellogg said it was “recovery” Hope meeting.”
Apart from saying that “economics and security must always go hand in hand,” he provided no details about potential natural resources agreements, and his interest is to reach a lasting agreement with the United States.
The Ukrainian government also conducted a series of diplomacy in Europe, hoping that Europe could provide security commitments or military aid to fill the gap in the U.S. deduction of support.
Mr. Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials acknowledged that European countries could not completely replace the various military and intelligence assistance provided by the United States to Ukraine, but encouraged them through discussions on the formation of European peacekeeping forces to force a ceasefire.
On Thursday, Mr. Zelensky spoke by phone with five European leaders from France, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark and Finland, as well as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Mr. Zelensky has at least nine times in the nine days since Mr. Trump negotiated with Russia on February 12. Meet or speak on the phone with European leaders. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez plans to visit on Monday.
Mr Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will continue to file cases in Ukraine with plans to visit Washington, where they are expected to introduce Europe and the UK to the Trump administration to the European Union that can provide Ukraine. And everything the UK can offer what the US still needs.
