# Zelenskyy says he's 'ready to work' with Trump after Oval Office spat

Washington ‒  says he's ready to work with  to negotiate a peace deal with Russia ‒ effectively ending a standoff between the leaders that exploded Monday evening when the U.S. said it would stop supplying the country with weapons.

Zelenskyy said in  that it is "time to make things right" with the American president and his administration after the Oval Office fight last week. He expressed gratitude for prior U.S. support for Ukraine in its battle to beat back Russia's military forces and praised Trump, whom he fought with last Friday in the Oval Office.

"None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts," Zelenskyy said Tuesday, describing their previous encounter as "regrettable."

The Trump administration said the evening before that it was pausing military assistance to Ukraine, delivering a major blow to Kyiv's ability to defend itself against Russia.

Trump's team had been in discussions with Russia and Ukraine about a peace agreement. But talks with Ukraine went sideways last week when Zelenskyy, Trump and Vice President JD Vance got into an Oval Office shouting match about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Zelenskyy left the White House without signing a minerals agreement that the U.S. says would protect Ukraine against future Russian aggression by linking the countries' economic interests after the war ends. The Ukrainian president came to the White House seeking immediate security guarantees from the United States and clarity on whether Trump intended to continue arming Ukraine.

"Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal," Zelenskyy said.
