He said that Ukraine seeks a just peace but added that "different perspectives on fairness exist." "It is important to discuss this," he added.
"I understand that we share a common desire to end this war. Ukrainians want this more than anyone else in the world because the war is happening here, the losses are ours, our people, our independence. All of this is constantly under threat, under missile attacks. You know all this. That's why more contacts, more intensive work, and the development of an effective plan are necessary. Only then can we move forward with diplomatic negotiations with the enemy, with Putin, with the Russians," Zelensky said.
Earlier, Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, told Fox News that Trump's team has a "solid plan" to end the fighting and initiate peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
