Zelensky Confirms Trump Talks, Ukraine Not an Obstacle to Peace 🇺🇸

President Volodymyr Zelensky said peace in Ukraine can be ensured by "those who are really strong in the world", admitting much "depends on America", after intense negotiations between US and Ukrainian officials in Geneva.

One Ukrainian official deeply involved in negotiations told The Independent’s Sam Kiley that the US appeared to have agreed to a document set out by Europe’s allies in Switzerland over the weekend – not a US plan.

However, the "most sensitive issues" of the agreement are yet to be discussed with President Donald Trump, according to Zelensky.

The Ukrainian President could visit the US this week to finalise a deal, Kyiv's national security chief said.

"We look forward to organising a visit of Ukraine's President to the US at the earliest suitable date in November to complete final steps and make a deal with President Trump," Rustem Umerov wrote on Facebook.
