"We are worthy of an equal dialogue," Zelenskyy said after participating in the security summit of European leaders on Sunday, March 2.

According to the newspaper, the Ukrainian leader emphasized that holding such an open conversation was not positive for both the United States and Ukraine. At the same time, Zelenskyy is confident that "the situation will pass, and there are more important things ahead."

"If the US president invites him 'for a constructive dialogue, for solving real problems, for serious questions and real, decisive actions and answers, I will come,'" the newspaper reported, citing the Ukrainian president.

Zelenskyy noted that the agreement on natural resources with the United States is ready to be signed at the ministerial level. He emphasized that Ukraine is not abandoning this proposal, despite the events that have taken place and is ready to accept the agreement.

The guarantor also emphasized his right to defend the dignity of his country and people, calling on his partners to be understanding of the suffering that Ukraine has endured after three years of Russian invasion.

"I am ready for any format of constructive relations with the United States," Zelenskyy said.

As a reminder, in an interview with Fox News, Zelenskyy said that he did not consider it necessary to apologize to US President Donald Trump over their dispute in the White House. However, the Ukrainian leader regrets what happened, he claims that Trump needs to "understand the position of Ukrainians."
