Asked whether it would be a good idea to invite former US president and 2024 presidential hopeful Donald Trump to Kyiv, Mr Zelensky replied: “I invited publicly, but it depends on his wishes.”
“If … he will come, I’m ready even to go with him to the front line,” he added.

“Please do not ask Ukraine when the war will end,” he said. “Ask yourself why is Putin still able to continue it.”
