Zelenskyy: Ukraine and Russia should meet for negotiations

He said this during the meeting in the Oval Office.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the war was not between the United States and Russia but between Russia and Ukraine, specifically Russia and the Ukrainian people. He emphasized that the two parties needed to meet and negotiate.

The President of Ukraine added that the United States, as Ukraine's strongest partner, could also take part. He further stressed the significance of Europe's support, stating that Europe was important to Ukraine because the country was defending the continent. Zelenskyy noted that all Europeans recognized Ukraine as a defensive barrier, which was why they provided assistance.
