Zelensky: Ready to run in election before war ends
Volodymyr Zelensky stated that if the presidential election were held during the war, he would run in it, as he considers it his duty to defend Ukraine until the end of hostilities.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his readiness to meet with U.S. negotiators, according to an interview with NBC News. In the conversation, Zelensky confirmed that his negotiation team had been informed of the U.S. negotiating group's desire for a face-to-face meeting, to which the Ukrainian leader agreed without any hesitation. Should the American representatives find it challenging to travel directly to Ukraine, Zelensky stated that he is prepared to hold the meeting in Europe.
The President emphasized that the peace talks are of utmost importance, as a ceasefire and de-escalation steps are crucial in ending the war. He also mentioned that the Ukrainian side would be conducting talks with the American delegation in the coming hours to discuss the possibility of a meeting. Zelensky expressed confidence that a meeting between the two sides could take place as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.
Earlier, on October 18, President Zelensky spoke with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about the outcomes of the talks between the Ukrainian and American teams in Florida and the subsequent steps in the diplomatic process.
