During a press conference with Metsola, the Ukrainian president was asked to comment on this news.
"Our teams are working to make it possible for us to meet," Zelenskyy said.
Background:
- Zelenskyy and Trump last met in August after Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin held their first talks in the US state of Alaska.
- After these meetings, Putin intensified strikes on Ukrainian cities, including the capital. During one of the large-scale airstrikes on Ukraine, Russian drones violated Polish airspace.
- Zelenskyy called on the White House leader to take a "clear position" on sanctions against Russia and security guarantees for Ukraine in order to stop the Kremlin leader and end the war.
