Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed readiness for negotiations without preconditions following a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders at the White House. Zelensky emphasized that territorial issues must be resolved directly between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin and indicated willingness to consider "proportional exchanges" of land despite constitutional challenges. He stated that Ukraine does not require a ceasefire as a precondition for talks, focusing instead on achieving a real peace agreement. President Trump supported Zelensky's approach, agreeing that any territorial discussions should be bilateral and pledged to facilitate a meeting between Zelensky and Putin. Trump also communicated to Putin the necessity of direct negotiations with Zelensky regarding territorial demands, urging realism in the discussions.
