(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – In a revealing turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has bent a knee to President Donald Trump, issuing a public statement expressing regret over a heated Oval Office meeting last week.

Despite the tensions surrounding halted military aid to Ukraine, Zelensky is urging the restoration of positive relations.
This strategic move comes amid Ukraine’s ongoing battle against Russian forces and highlights the stakes of maintaining U.S. support.
In a tweet, Zelensky described his recent meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump as “regrettable” but expressed readiness to work under Trump’s leadership for peace.
The meeting in the Oval Office last week did not go as planned, escalating into a confrontation with Trump and Vice President JD Vance over Russian President Putin.
Zelensky’s willingness to put this incident behind reflects a strategic shift aimed at renewing crucial support from the Trump administration.
The Trump administration recently paused U.S. military aid to Ukraine, affecting its ongoing defense efforts against Russia.
This decision is perceived as leverage to pressure Ukraine into further peace negotiations.
Zelensky and his administration understand the critical role U.S. aid plays in their national security, particularly at such a time when Russian aggression remains unyielding.
“Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We are ready to work fast to end the war,” the Ukrainian leader wrote.
Despite this diplomatic setback, Zelensky proposed initiating peace efforts, including a ceasefire and prisoner exchanges contingent upon Russia’s cooperation.
This approach demonstrates Ukraine’s readiness to spearhead peace talks, provided they lead to a secure and lasting arrangement beneficial to Ukraine’s sovereignty.
However, skepticism remains high due to concerns over Russia’s reliability in honoring ceasefires.
I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under…

The Oval Office incident also highlighted disagreements over a minerals agreement intended to secure Ukraine’s post-conflict future.
Zelensky, prioritizing immediate security needs, left Washington without signing the agreement, despite Trump’s insistence.
Trump has made it clear that any further discussions with Ukraine will necessitate Zelensky’s acceptance of terms favoring a peace deal.
“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive,” Zelensky wrote.
However, Trump allies were quick to suggest Zelensky should apologize for the clash or resign, reflecting the friction in the diplomatic relationship.
Zelensky has refused to apologize, maintaining a firm position on Ukraine’s path forward.
His administration continues to affirm that U.S. military aid is not merely financial support but a lifeline necessary to sustain their resistance against Russia.
