Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement Tuesday that his Oval Office meeting last week with US President Donald Trump “did not go the way it was supposed to,” describing it as regrettable and noting that Ukraine is ready to negotiate.

A day after the US cuts military aid, Zelensky is all of a sudden read to negotiate peace and sign the minerals deal.

“None of us wants an endless war,” he added. “Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.”

“Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively,” he said.

    Not “all of a sudden”, the reason he was even there in the first place was to negotiate minerals AND security

      The reason he was there was to sell off whatever is left of his country to the US, and then he tried to back out at the last moment throwing a tantrum in public. Now the US reminded him that he’s just a puppet by cutting off military aid, and he’s getting back with the program.

              It’s my post about Zelensky sobering up and caving in to all of Trump’s demands after Trump cut off aid for a day because he realized that Europeans have fuck all to offer aside from platitudes.

                Watch libs still deny that this is a US war when the US did the coup that started it and as soon as the US pulled funding peace talks commence.

                Absolutely hilarious how every single thing the “tankies” said for the past three years has come true. Meanwhile, libs are still busy clutching their pearls and running away whenever reality dares to knock on the door of their carefully curated fantasyland. Who needs facts when you’ve got vibes, right?
