President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that "serious" members of U.S. President Donald Trump's team would travel to Ukraine this week for the first time, as diplomatic efforts to end the war with Russia intensify, APA reports citing Reuters.
Zelenskyy, who is trying to forge close relations with Trump as the U.S. president seeks to rapidly stop the bloodshed, said the visit would take place before the February 14-16 Munich Security Conference, though he did not clarify who would visit.
"This week, some people from the Trump team, serious ones, will be in Ukraine - even before the Munich conference," he said in a video released by the UNIAN news agency.
Zelenskyy also confirmed that he planned to meet U.S. Vice President JD Vance at the Munich conference and that his team was trying to set up a meeting with Trump.
"Our teams are also working on dialogue and a meeting with President Trump," he said, days after Trump said he would "probably" meet with Zelenskyy this week.
