Zelensky claimed during the interview that he “just wants the Ukrainian position to be heard” when he was asked about the horrific meeting with Trump on Friday at the White House.
“We want our partners to remember who the aggressor is in this war. We need peace, not endless war,” Zelensky said following a summit in London with Ukraine’s European allies over the weekend.
“In the near future, all of us in Europe will shape our common positions – the lines we must achieve and the lines we cannot compromise on. These positions will be presented to our partners in the United States,” he added.
After Zelensky was taught a lesson by his allies in the Oval Office on Friday, security guarantees from Europe will help mend the rift between Washington and Kyiv.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that his country, France, “and others,” would work with Ukraine to come up with a way to end the fighting. They would then present this plan to Washington.
The French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrot, gave diplomatic assurances by saying that the ceasefire on “air, sea, and energy” would give allies a chance to see if Russia was ready to end the war with Ukraine.
In addition, he said he thought Trump and Zelensky could start talking again. This was a message echoed by Peter Mandelson, Britain’s U.S. ambassador, who said on Sunday that relations needed a “very radical reset” and that Zelensky and Trump should try to talk again.
To get the U.S. to support a lasting peace deal again, Ukraine’s European allies have said they are ready to support a truce.
