Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed regret over a recent tension-filled meeting with US President Donald Trump, referring to the exchange as “regrettable.” The comments came after a significant diplomatic incident in the Oval Office last week, which ended in a heated disagreement between the two leaders.
Zelenskyy, seeking to ease tensions, took to social media to address the situation. His remarks were made shortly after the White House announced a pause in military aid to Ukraine, a move that is critical for the country’s ongoing efforts to counter Russia’s invasion. Despite the recent setback, the Ukrainian leader reiterated his commitment to working with President Trump, emphasizing Ukraine's readiness to engage in constructive cooperation under his “strong leadership.”
In his statement, Zelenskyy also signalled Ukraine’s willingness to explore lucrative economic opportunities with the United States, particularly in the areas of rare-earth minerals and security. This would mark a significant step towards strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.
The Ukrainian President also responded to criticism from Trump, who had questioned Zelenskyy’s commitment to securing peace. Addressing the comments, Zelenskyy clarified that “None of us want an endless war,” further asserting that Ukraine is ready to return to the negotiating table.
Zelenskyy’s statement underscored the Ukrainian government’s desire to bring an end to the conflict, noting that the people of Ukraine seek peace above all else. “Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians,” he said. “My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to secure a peace that lasts.”
Reflecting on the recent meeting, Zelenskyy acknowledged that the discussions had not gone as planned, describing the outcome as unfortunate. He expressed a hope for future communication to be more constructive and productive, as both nations seek to find common ground in their efforts towards peace and security in the region.
