Zelensky invites Trump to Ukraine in bid to combat ‘Russian narratives’ in US

Published



Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited President Donald Trump to visit the war-torn country in a bid to convince him to embrace Ukraine’s view of its war with Russia.

During an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, which was released over the weekend, Zelensky asked Trump to put a pause on high-level negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. He suggested the United States is pandering to pro-Russian narratives as it seeks to build a peace deal between the two countries. Zelensky requested that Trump “see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead” in Ukraine “to understand what Putin did” before making “any kind of decisions” on a peace deal.
