Zelenskyy's remarks come after President Donald Trump accused him of being a "dictator without elections" and presented him as an obstacle to ending the war in Ukraine, saying last week after U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia that Zelenskyy "better move fast or he's not going to have a country left."

U.S. President Donald Trump says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will soon come to the U.S. to sign a deal to give America access to Ukraine’s critical minerals.
