The Ukrainian leader had made a public overture toward Trump via X earlier Tuesday, following strained tensions in the wake of a blow-up between the two men in the Oval Office last Friday.

Vice President JD Vance had reamed out Zelensky during that meeting for not expressing more gratitude for American assistance.

Trump also claimed during his speech — which essentially functions as a State of the Union address despite not technically being one — that he has “received strong signals” from the Russians that they are “ready for peace.”
