Zelensky’s inner circle is trying to appease Trump, – The Times reported

Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle is working to win favor with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who will take office on January 20.

This information reported according to The Times, citing Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Merezhko.

“For several weeks, Zelensky’s trusted associates have been traveling to Washington, courting and persuading Trump’s close associates,” the publication quotes Merezhko as saying.

Merezhko added that the team of the 47th U.S. president has not yet communicated any specific measures for resolving the armed conflict. He also emphasized that Trump currently holds negative associations with Ukraine, which the authorities are trying to change.

Previously, The Times reported that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer might travel to Washington within weeks of Trump’s inauguration to request military aid for Ukraine. According to the publication, Starmer is expected to advocate for this despite Trump’s plans to negotiate a resolution to the conflict.
