Kyiv, Ukraine – April 14, 2025
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has officially called on Donald Trump to visit Ukraine ahead of any potential peace agreement with Russia. This strategic move comes amid heightened speculation that Kyiv and Moscow are nearing a major diplomatic resolution after years of conflict.
Zelensky stated that seeing the war-torn regions in person would help Trump better understand the gravity of the situation and the stakes involved. With Trump leading in Republican polls for the 2024 U.S. presidential race, his stance on Ukraine could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of U.S. foreign policy in Eastern Europe.
Zelensky’s invitation comes as reports surface of confidential breakthroughs in negotiations with Russia. Although details remain classified, both sides have hinted at a framework for peace being developed behind closed doors.
The Ukrainian leader emphasized the value of global partnerships and the need to maintain strong support from the United States—regardless of who occupies the Oval Office next year. Trump’s previous comments suggesting he could “end the war in 24 hours” have sparked intense debate, and Zelensky’s invitation could be an attempt to clarify or challenge those claims.
No official comment has yet been made by Trump or his campaign, but the world will be watching closely to see if the former U.S. president responds to the high-stakes invitation.
