President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reportedly been scrambling to contain the fallout from his controversial meeting with Donald Trump last week, in which the US leader berated him in front of international media and asked him to leave the White House.
“Today, Ukrainian and American teams began working on an upcoming meeting. We’re seeing forward momentum,” Zelenskyy said.
The Ukrainian leader also said he would join EU leaders for a Brussels summit on Thursday.
The United States said earlier it had halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine, a few days after announcing it was also suspending military aid.
The moves have sparked fears in Kyiv and Europe that Ukraine could be forced to accept a peace settlement on terms favourable to Moscow or risk losing US support entirely.
“We all want a safe future for our people. Not a temporary ceasefire, but an end to the war once and for all. With our coordinated efforts and US leadership, this is entirely achievable,” Zelenskyy wrote on Wednesday on social media following a call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
He had said a day earlier that he was ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer, stating that he wanted to mend relations with Trump.
