Zelensky describes Oval Office meeting as ‘regrettable,’ says he is ready to negotiate peace | CNN

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.

    Zelenskyy has the patience of a fucking angel. Still now he can use honest and humble words and work with someone who spat in his face for the benefit of his country.

    Too bad that meeting was a staged attack meant to be used as an excuse to cut off funding. “This is going to make great TV”. They all thought Zelenskyy would be the one to storm off angry. Since it didn’t work, Trump will just “pause” funding until everyone else “forgets” because of the hundreds of heinous acts he’s about to do in the next month.

    Slava Ukrani!

              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.

              Bro, Y is a massive tankie.

              Everything they post when it’s political is Russian boot Licking. It’s best to ignore them for your sanity on Lemmy.

              I see something outrages, I see it’s posted by Y then I leave.

                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?

                  Tankies said something about 3 day special military operation. That didn’t come true.

                  Either way I choose not to discuss politics with you.

                  Anything else sure but politics no

                    Tankies said something about 3 day special military operation. That didn’t come true.

                    The whole narrative of a 3 day operation came from Washington and was spread by general Milley https://archive.ph/lYyTn

                    But do feel free to link anybody you label to be a tankie saying anything of the sort, because you obviously wouldn’t lie here. In general, it is a wise choice for you not to discuss topics you’re clueless about with anyone.
