Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday called his contentious meeting last week with President Trump at the White House a “regrettable” gathering but stopped short of issuing an apology for the public blowup.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he’s willing to meet again with Donald Trump if the US president invites him, but signaled that another White House encounter would have to be “serious” for him to make the trip.

A spokesperson says Rubio thanked Lammy “for the UK’s role in encouraging Europe to provide for its own defence and push for peace in Ukraine”. Rubio also “confirmed the United States is ready to negotiate to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict and will continue working with the UK towards peace in Ukraine”, they say.

President Donald Trump is reportedly refusing to engage in talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky unless the latter issues a public apology, according to Fox News. White House correspondent Peter Doocy shared that a senior White House official told him no progress will happen on the U.

Volodymyr Zelensky has buckled under pressure from the US and now ‘stands ready to work under Donald Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts’. The Ukrainian president admitted that Friday’s meeting in the White House was ‘regrettable’ hours after the US stopped military aid to his country.

Ukraine's president tells reporters that despite a fractious White House meeting, he is prepared for the deal to go ahead.

A couple of days after leaving the White House without an agreement, the Ukrainian president told reporters that his country is ready to sign a minerals deal with the US. View on euronews
