The Ukrainian leader stressed that the peace plan must be approved by referendum or through parliament.
Donald Trump, in turn, noted that society wants an end to the war. According to him, polls show about 90% support for ending military operations.
Trump also added that there are still unresolved issues regarding the part of the territory that has already been partially captured or is under threat of capture.
How Ukrainians abroad will vote
Zelenskyy also emphasised how Ukrainians living abroad would participate in the referendum.
According to the president, this requires appropriate infrastructure, as millions of people are mainly located in Europe. Organising voting for refugees takes time and careful preparation.
- As a reminder, Zelenskyy previously stated that the next meeting with Donald Trump and European leaders would take place in January.
- The president also expressed hope that this meeting would see the final agreement on "all issues."
