“We need strong agreements with the United States - agreements that will actually work,” Zelensky said in his daily address to the nation Thursday night. “Economy and security must always go hand in hand.
The source said the mineral agreement would ideally be signed in the presence of the US and Ukrainian presidents. Zelensky, who met with Kellogg on Thursday, insisted on a meeting with Trump before the US leader meets with Putin.
Kellogg said he had a “long and intense day with Ukraine's top leadership,” calling Zelensky a “combative and courageous leader” in a message to X on Friday.
Trump, meanwhile, continued his attacks on the Ukrainian leader, telling Fox News Radio on Friday that Zelensky did not need to take part in talks to end the war with Russia.
