Was not ready to say if any deal would be signed during his visit, but Ukraine was open to it.
A security guarantee agreement between Ukraine and the U.S. was “almost ready” and the 20-point plan draft was 90% complete, Zelenskyy said.
Wary of failed guarantees from allies in the past, Ukraine is seeking robust and legally binding deals to prevent further Russian aggression.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Zelenskyy’s statements.
Trump, who has at times expressed frustration with the slow pace of progress in the negotiations, previously suggested that he would meet with Zelenskyy if he felt that a major diplomatic advance was possible.
European leaders might join the talks online, according to Zelenskyy. On Friday, he discussed “significant progress” in the peace efforts with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb.
