MUNICH (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to President Donald Trump's history as a dealmaker on Friday, offering flattering words as he sought the U.S. president's leadership in negotiations that could end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“I hope that we can count that, really, President Trump will help us,” Zelenskyy said during the Munich Security Conference. “I really count on him because he is the president of the United States."

Trump was not in Munich, but his presence loomed large over the gathering.

Zelenskyy, speaking in English during a panel discussion with U.S. senators, did not hesitate to lay on the approbation for the U.S. president: “I see, yes, that he is a strong man. And if he will choose our side, and if he will not be in the middle, I think he will pressure and he will push Putin to stop the war. He can do it.”
