He will eventually come to this - he will have to. Vance says that Zelenskyy will eventually go to peace talks

Ukraine's negotiations with russia will begin sooner or later - US Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will "eventually" agree to this. At the same time, he accused the Ukrainian leader of showing "disrespect" during a meeting with Donald Trump.

This is reported by France 24, CNN and Fox News.

According to Vance, Zelenskyy has shown that he is not ready to participate in the peace process that the Trump administration is seeking. "He has demonstrated a clear unwillingness to participate in the peace process that President Trump called the policy of the American people and his presidency. That is the main problem," he said.

The US Vice President added that the Ukrainian President will still have to agree to negotiations. "I think Zelenskyy wasn't ready for it then. And, frankly, he's still not ready now, but I think he'll come to it eventually - he'll have to."

Asked by the host about the possibility of Zelenskyy meeting with Trump again if he declares his readiness for a peace plan, Vance said that the US would be ready to talk if the Ukrainian leader "gets serious about things." "I think if he called and had a serious proposal about how he was going to participate in the process. Look, there are details that are really important, that we're already working on with the russians. We've talked to some of our allies, he needs to get serious about the details," Vance concluded.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on February 28, during the public part of the meeting, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy got into a heated argue with US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The Trump administration wants Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to publicly apologize after a argue at the White House.

On March 1, Zelenskyy expressed hope for normalization of relations with the United States.

Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada has published an appeal to Trump, welcoming his peace talks.
