Zelensky's meeting with envoy Keith Kellogg was "good", writes the President and praises the USA for "all assistance and support".

"It is important for us – and for the entire free world – that the USA's strength is felt. We had an in-depth conversation about the situation on the battlefield, how we can regain prisoners of war and effective security guarantees", he writes further.

Zelensky said before the meeting that he was convinced that it is possible to end the war with a lasting peace, "in such a way that Russia will never be able to invade Ukraine again".

After the meeting, he repeats the words and writes that Ukraine is ready to enter into a "strong and effective" agreement on investments and security with the USA.

"We have proposed the fastest and most effective way to achieve results", he writes without going into further details. The post suggests, however, that he is at least partially meeting President Donald Trump halfway.

Trump is said to have demanded Ukrainian raw materials, assets, and infrastructure in exchange for continued help in the war against Russia. This includes, among other things, so-called rare earth metals, which Ukraine is believed to have large quantities of.

"Success unites us all. The whole world benefits from strong bonds between Ukraine and the USA", writes Zelensky.

Corrected: In earlier versions, the President of Ukraine was given the wrong name in the image caption.
