Trump to meet with Zelensky next week

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky next week. He made this statement during a briefing at the White House alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

According to Trump, the meeting may take place in Washington.

— I’m not going there [to Kyiv], — he said.

The U.S. and Ukrainian leaders will discuss the supply of rare metals in exchange for military support for Ukraine.

— One of the topics we’ll review with President Zelensky is securing their assets. They have underground resources… Ultimately, we all want security, because, as you know, Europe is spending far less than we are, — Trump stated.

Additionally, he mentioned plans to discuss the war with Vladimir Putin, though he did not provide specific dates for potential talks.

Trump emphasized that the war needs to end quickly, as it has cost millions of lives.

— 800 to 900 thousand Russian soldiers have been killed or severely wounded, and Ukraine’s losses are roughly the same — around 700 thousand. They reported lower figures, but I believe that’s inaccurate, — the U.S. president said. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
