In a post on X, Zelenskyy reiterated Ukraine’s willingness to negotiate with Russia, emphasizing the need for constructive future cooperation. He also affirmed his readiness to work under Trump’s leadership.

He expressed gratitude for past U.S. support, particularly Trump’s provision of Javelin missiles. Additionally, he confirmed Ukraine’s openness to agreements on minerals and security.

The statement comes as Trump ordered a "pause" in U.S. military aid to Ukraine following their White House meeting last week.
