Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in the U.S. on February 28. It was expected that a contract regarding the use of Ukrainian land resources would be signed during this visit.

According to BFM TV, U.S. President Donald Trump wanted to cancel Zelensky's visit, but Emmanuel Macron intervened and urged Trump not to cancel the meeting.
