“The world is needed as soon as possible”: Zelensky, Trump and his entourage want to meet again after a skirmish in the oval office

On the fifth day after the skirmish in the oval office, its participants softened the rhetoric. The presidents of the United States and Ukraine, as well as the US Vice President Jay Di Wence, do not exclude the possibility of new negotiations and further interaction, including signing the economic cooperation of Washington and Kyiv, as well as a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. The Insider has collected the main theses of the parties.

Over the past day, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky repeated several times in his social networks that Ukraine needs peace, not an “endless war”.

“In the near future, we all in Europe will determine our common positions - the lines that we must achieve, and the lines along which we cannot compromise. These positions will be represented by our partners in the United States, ”he writes in his Telegram channel.

In the post in X (Twitter) in the evening of March 3, Zelensky also added that "you need to stop the war and ensure security." “We work with America and European partners and are very counting on the support of America on the way to the world. The world is needed - as soon as possible, ” he concluded.

Zelensky continues to insist that Kiev needs security guarantees. The President of Ukraine believes that they can become a restraining factor for Russian aggression:

“The lack of security guarantees for Ukraine 11 years ago allowed Russia to start with the occupation of Crimea and the war in the Donbass. Later, the lack of security guarantees allowed Russia to start a full-scale invasion, and now, due to the lack of clear security guarantees, Russia continues to incite this war. The world sees this, and the world recognizes it. ”

Even earlier, on Sunday of March 2, Zelensky directly commented on the possibility of new negotiations with Trump. “[If Trump offers to meet, then] for a constructive dialogue, for solving real problems, for serious issues and real, decisive actions and answers, I will come,” Bloomberg quotes his agency.

Zelensky also added that he was ready to sign an agreement on the economic cooperation of the United States and Ukraine, but he wants the partners to remember who is the aggressor in this war. " The dispute in the oval office, according to the President of Ukraine, was not positive for any of its participants, but he "did not offend anyone."

In addition, in the evening of March 3, an appeal addressed to the White House appeared on the website of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In it, the glad “on behalf of the entire Ukrainian people” thanked Trump, the US Congress and the entire American people for the “firm and consistent support of independence” of Ukraine, as well as assistance in the fight against the Russian invasion.

US President Donald Trump , speaking on the evening of March 3 in the White House, also said that he did not think that the deal with Ukraine was “dead”. He limited himself to a short comment, announcing a detailed performance on the evening of Tuesday, March 4. He also hinted that without the conclusion of the world, Ukraine will "not hold out for a long time":

“Perhaps someone does not want to conclude an agreement, and if so, I think that this person will not last long. They will not listen to this person for a long time. Because I believe that Russia wants to conclude an agreement, I believe that the people of Ukraine, of course, want to conclude an agreement. ”

In his social networks, Trump reacted to Zelensky’s statements, made during a visit to London. In particular, the US President published an article by the Associated Press under the heading “Zelensky said that the end of the war with Russia is very, very far” and called these words of the President of Ukraine “the worst statement that he could make”:

“America will not endure it for a long time! This is what I was talking about, this guy does not want to have peace while he has America's support. ”

In the article AP Zelensky claims that, in his opinion, Ukraine and the United States has a “fairly strong partnership” relationship that will “provide uninterrupted supply of assistance” to Kyiv. “I think that our relationship [with Washington] will continue, because it is more than one -time meetings,” AP quotes him. However, at the same meeting with reporters, Zelensky announced his readiness to meet with Trump again and sign an agreement on economic partnership.

Washington still suspended the supply of military assistance to Ukraine, the American media reported on Tuesday. This was confirmed by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. At the same time, RBC-Ukraine, citing sources, writes that the pause in weapons supply did not affect the exchange of intelligence of Washington with Kiev.

US Vice President Jay Di Wans on Monday, March 3, gave an interview to the American television channel Fox News. This was his first public commentary after a skirmish in the White House. Vance accused Zelensky of “disrespect” to Trump and said that the president of Ukraine was not yet ready for peace.

“I think Zelensky was not ready for this. And I think that, frankly, he is not ready now, but I think that in the end he will come to this, he must , ”said Wence.

According to Wans, Ukrainian officials asked about continuing the negotiations at least once, but Trump refused this. The vice-president of the United States also assured that he tried to “discharge the situation”, after the skirmish, offering to hold a conversation between Zelensky and Trump without cameras. There was an American president against this. “He said: no, in fact, I no longer want it to be confidential. I want this conversation to be public and the whole American people saw him, ”Trump brought Wence.

Vance also added that the current administration of the White House has a “clear goal” - to stop the murder. He called on Zelensky and Putin to sit down at the negotiating table, calling the mediation of the United States "the only realistic way to resolve" the conflict. Trump's task, according to Wance, is to complete the war, because it "cannot last forever."

“When they [Ukrainians] will be ready for peace negotiations, President Trump will be the first to pick up the phone,” Vance assured.

Speaking about security guarantees for Ukraine, he called the “best way” to prevent the new Russian invasion of the opportunity for Washington to gain benefits from the economic development of Ukraine. “These are much more stable security guarantees than some 20 thousand military people from some country that have not participated in armed conflicts for 30 or 40 years,” the vice president summed up.
