Zelenskyy said he wanted to understand whether after Nov. 5 — when Americans go to the polls — Ukraine would still have the powerful support of the U.S., or be left to fend for itself.

“They can’t plan my life and the life of our people, our children,” the Ukrainian president said. “My message is if they have the plan, it can be not public because of the elections but I think we have to know before to prepare.”

Trump said at last week’s debate with Biden that he doesn’t regard as acceptable Putin’s ultimatum that Ukraine surrender four of its regions to Russia to end the war.

He said, however, that he is mulling a deal whereby NATO commits to no further eastward expansion — specifically into Ukraine and Georgia — and negotiates with the Russian president over how much Ukrainian territory Moscow can keep, officials and advisors in contact with Trump told POLITICO.

Trump’s campaign office refused to comment.
