We need to speak with each candidate and understand their stance on this. I will also speak with Congress. I need their support in this matter," the president explained.

Regarding the meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy said: "Definitely, yes. I’ve seen his media statements, and our teams are in contact. The key is finding the time. I won’t speculate, but I think it will be important for both of us."
