Ukrainian officials are employing various strategies to court President-elect Donald J. Trump, from attempts at diplomacy to expressions of gratitude, to strengthen their position against Russia.
President Zelensky's outreach to Trump, including a 1,500-mile trek to meet him in Paris, emphasizes Ukraine's desperation to align with the incoming U.S. administration.
Ukrainian lawmakers, like Oleksandr Merezhko, are proactively seeking to solidify U.S. support by even nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his past actions.
With the ongoing conflict and declining military position, Zelensky's approach has shifted to signal a willingness for negotiations, acknowledging possible concessions to facilitate talks.
