“Let’s see what he brings to the table.”

In preparation for upcoming discussions, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Together, they participated in a conference call alongside European leaders and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, on Saturday.

Following these interactions, Zelenskyy announced on social media that this group of leaders plans to reconvene after his talks with Donald Trump.

Ukraine has advocated for the exclusive operation of the power plant by Ukraine and the United States.

He emphasized, “Security guarantees must coincide with the conclusion of the conflict, as we need assurance that Russia will not resume hostilities.”

“Security guarantees must be simultaneous with the end of the war, because we must be confident that Russia will not start aggression again,” he said.

How has Russia responded to the plan?

However, Russian newspaper Kommersant reported that, in a talk with some of Russia’s top businessmen on Wednesday, Putin signalled that he was open to territorial swaps with Ukraine, although insisting that he wanted all of Donbas.
