Russia war: Visit Ukraine – President Zelenskyy urges Donald Trump

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged the former President of the United States, US, Donald Trump to visit his country.

Zelenskyy said he would like to hear Trump’s proposals for ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.

He spoke on Tuesday during an interview with Axel Springer.

The Ukrainian president, however, said he is not interested in Trump’s idea that the war would be over if only Ukraine would forfeit large amounts of land.

According to Zelenskyy: “If the deal is that we just give up our territories … then, it’s a very primitive idea.

“I need a real idea because people’s lives are at stake.”

The U.S. military said Tuesday it has handed Ukraine an array of small arms and ammunition it seized from Iranian forces as they tried to deliver them to Tehran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The cache included more than 5,000 AK-47 assault weapons, rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, sniper rifles and more than 500,000 rounds of ammunition that the U.S. seized from four vessels between May 2021 and February 2023, the U.S. Central Command said.

“These weapons will help Ukraine defend against Russia’s invasion” and are enough material to equip a brigade, the U.S. said.
