Ukrainian President Zelenskyy Expects to Work with Trump as Peace Broker Between Russia and Ukraine

In recent developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his expectations of working with former US President Donald Trump if he is re-elected in November. This comes as Zelenskyy prepares to become the first foreign leader to address the UK cabinet since Bill Clinton in 1997. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has told European leaders that Trump is 'ready to act as a peace broker' between Russia and Ukraine if elected.

According to reports, Zelenskyy stated that working with Trump would be challenging but expressed confidence in their ability to overcome any difficulties. He also emphasized the importance of unity among European leaders in dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin's attempts to sow disunity within the region.

Orban, an ally of Putin, met with him earlier this month and has been working to convince leaders to shift from a pro-war policy to a pro-peace policy. However, his actions have drawn condemnation from Europe.

Zelenskyy is set to address the UK cabinet later today and will be the first foreign leader to do so in person since American president Bill Clinton in 1997. The Ukrainian leader's visit comes after he met with newly-elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer last week, reiterating the UK's continued support for Ukraine.

Trump, who has previously expressed his desire to improve relations with Russia and criticized NATO, has not yet commented on Orban's claims. However, during a meeting with Orban at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida last week, Trump indicated that he would immediately take action to promote peace if elected.

The situation in Ukraine remains tense as the conflict between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists continues. The European Union and NATO are closely monitoring the situation and working to maintain unity among member states.
