Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared his willingness to engage in direct talks with both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin without requiring any preliminary conditions. The announcement comes amid ongoing military tensions, with Zelenskyy indicating that Moscow is planning additional significant assaults.
The Ukrainian head of state emphasized that while international appeals for de-escalation continue, certain defensive measures remain unavoidable when national security demands them. He did not specify potential dates or locations for the proposed diplomatic meeting but characterized the offer as a genuine attempt to pursue peaceful resolution through dialogue.
The development occurs against a backdrop of persistent conflict in Eastern Europe, where military engagements have continued despite various international mediation efforts. Zelenskyy’s statement represents a notable diplomatic maneuver, potentially creating new avenues for conflict resolution discussions among the involved nations.
