Zelenskiy: Ukraine offering fast, constructive accord with US on security, investments
(Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that Ukraine was ready to work quickly and tirelessly to produce a strong and useful agreement on investments and security with the United States.
Zelenskiy said on media site X that he had a "good discussion" with Keith Kellogg, the US envoy for Ukraine and Russia.
The meeting took place a day after Zelenskiy and US President Donald Trump exchanged barbs as US-Russian talks got underway on ending the three-year-old war pitting Kyiv against Moscow. Ukraine was not invited to the talks.
"We must and can ensure that peace is strong and lasting—so that Russia can never return with war," Zelenskiy wrote.
"Ukraine is ready for a strong, effective investment and security agreement with the President of the United States. We have proposed the fastest and most constructive way to achieve results. Our team is ready to work 24/7."
Zelenskiy said his discussion with Kellogg was focused on the battlefield situation, the security guarantees that Ukraine is seeking and the return of prisoners of war.
