President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that his team is in touch with American officials. In particular, the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, recently spoke with Trump's National Security Advisor Michael Walz. The dates of the US delegation's visit to Ukraine have also been set.
So far, Washington has not publicly presented a clear strategy for ending the war. Last week, Kellogg noted that the United States is interested in holding elections in Ukraine by the end of the year if a truce agreement with moscow can be reached.
The president of the terrorist country questions Zelenskyy's legitimacy as a negotiator, arguing that his presidential mandate has expired. At the same time, Zelensky emphasizes that holding elections is impossible under martial law.
