President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects the support of Ukraine from the newly elected US President Donald Trump in the event of negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow regarding the war, and also called a “strong Ukraine” the basis of the negotiations.

Details: The Ukrainian leader called a “strong Ukraine” the main condition – on the battlefield or in diplomacy.
Also, according to the president, the support of values and justice will be the support of Ukraine, and here neutrality on the part of the mediator is impossible.
Zelensky’s direct speech: “That Ukraine will not be alone with the Russian Federation, under the conditions that Ukraine will be strong. How can there be negotiations simply with a murderer? If we talk with Putin, and we are not strengthened in the conditions we are in now, this is a losing proposition at the entrance status for Ukraine. This is not about a just peace. Of course, there is nothing to do in these negotiations.
Trump’s position is very important, America’s attitude towards Ukraine is very important. They are on the side of Ukraine today. This is important…
You can’t talk abstractly: I’m a mediator, so I can’t choose one side or the other. This cannot be the case with violations of international law.
America should maintain the position of supporting Ukraine in the fact that Russia is the aggressor. This status should remain. Then we have to think too. This is one of the points at the entrance, which is very important in any negotiation platform. There must still be elements of our victory plan.”
Details: Zelenskyi also emphasized that he will take seriously only the conversation with Trump, and not with his advisers.
Zelensky’s direct speech: “With all due respect to any environment. This is our level, the level of presidents. Everything must be in accordance with the law.
Until he was inaugurated, they cannot participate in all the processes and put an end to something. They have no such authority. Our teams will work to create the right meaningful meeting. About these or other lines, I will be able to tell our society openly after a substantive meeting with President Trump, when he will be in full authority as president.”
