Zelensky Invites President Trump To Ukraine


During his 2024 presidential campaign, President Trump said that if elected, he would end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours.

Even though he has outlined his plan on how he would end the war, his critics don’t feel he has provided enough information.

On Sunday, while pleading for another year of support from the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky extended an invitation to Donald Trump to come visit the war-torn country.

From The New York Post:

“I invite President Trump if he can come here. I will need 24 minutes…to explain [to] President Trump that he can’t manage this war, that he can’t bring peace because of Putin,” Zelensky told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

“If he’s not ready to give our territory for this terrible man,” Zelensky went on, “if you’re not ready to give our independence…he’s very welcome.”

Zelensky noted that he hasn’t had any contact with Trump since the latter departed the White House and conceded he doesn’t know if the former president would have Ukraine’s back.

He also thanked Joe Biden, who visited the war-torn nation back in February to mark the one-year anniversary of the conflict.

“I’m really thankful to President Biden, by the way he was here and I think he’s a strong man,” Zelensky said. “He’s a hero.”

Some 20 months into the war, funding for Ukraine has emerged as a lightning rod issue, with Republicans in particular, growing increasingly wary about marshaling more aid to the war-torn nation.

But the Ukrainian president underscored that the next year will be critical in the fighting to stave off Russian invaders.

“The gap will be minimized in our budget and after that — after next year, if the war will not finish next year … I think we will manage to minimize this gap. And you will not help us [at] such [a] high price, I’m sure,” Zelensky said in choppy English.
