Addressing the United States Congress on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump announced that his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had written to him, indicating he was ready for peace negotiations with Russia to end their war.
In a post on social media, Zelenskyy concurred with Trump and laid out the contours of a peace plan. This came days after a bust-up between the two leaders in the Oval Office, where Trump and Vice President JD Vance accused Zelenskyy of being a warmonger unwilling to work towards a ceasefire with Russia, and claimed that he was not grateful enough for all the assistance that the US has provided to Ukraine during the war.
