“Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead,” he said in a CBS “60 Minutes” interview broadcast Sunday.<\/p>\n

With a visit to Ukraine, Trump “will understand what (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin did.”<\/p>\n

“You will understand with whom you have a deal,” Zelensky added.<\/p>\n

Zelensky’s invitation follows the heated row at the White House in late February between the Ukrainian president, Trump and US Vice President JD Vance, which played out in front of press.<\/p>\n

Vance at the time accused Ukraine of hosting foreign leaders on “propaganda tours” to win support.<\/p>\n

Zelensky repeated his denial of that allegation, and told CBS that if Trump chose to visit Ukraine, “we will not prepare anything. It will not be theater.”<\/p>\n

“You can go exactly where you want, in any city which (has) been under attacks.”<\/p>\n

Trump is pushing for a quick end to the more than three-year war, with the United States holding direct talks with Russia despite its unrelenting attacks on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Washington has also held talks with Ukrainian officials on a potential truce, while European nations are discussing a military deployment to reinforce any Ukraine ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Kyiv has previously agreed to a US-proposed unconditional ceasefire but Moscow has turned it down.<\/p>\n

“Putin can’t be trusted. I told that to President Trump many times. So when you ask why the ceasefire isn’t working — this is why,” Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

“Putin never wanted an end to the war. Putin never wanted us to be independent. Putin wants to destroy us completely — our sovereignty and our people.”<\/p>\n

Zelensky spoke to CBS Friday in his hometown Kryvyi Rig, where a Russian strike earlier this month killed 18 people, including nine children.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian leader said he had “100 percent hatred” for Putin, asking “how else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?”<\/p>\n

However he added that the animosity “doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work to end the war as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n

As negotiations continue over ending the war, Zelensky said that a just peace would be “to not lose our sovereignty or our independence,” and pledged to eventually reclaim any territory currently held by Russia.<\/p>\n

“We, no matter what, will take back what is ours because we never lost it — the Russians took it from us.”<\/p>\n
