The Associated PressUkraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky gives a press conference in Kyiv, Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2025.
Russia’s army crossed the border on Feb. 24, 2022, in an all-out invasion that Putin sought to justify by saying it was needed to protect civilians in eastern Ukraine and prevent the country from joining NATO. Ukraine and its allies denounced it as an unprovoked act of aggression. Zelenskyy’s remarks Wednesday came shortly before he was expected to meet with Keith Kellogg, the U.S. special envoy for Ukraine and Russia as part of the administration’s recent diplomatic blitz.
Zelenskyy said he hoped Kellogg would walk through Kyiv and “ask if they trust their president? Do they trust Putin? Let him ask about Trump, what they think after the statements made by their president.” Trump also suggested Ukraine ought to hold elections, which have been postponed due to the war and the consequent imposition of martial law, in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitution.
