MUNICH, Germany — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was willing to take U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump, a long-time skeptic of Washington's support for Kyiv, to the war-battered front lines of Ukraine.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy on Saturday said that he had already welcomed the Republican frontrunner to see first hand the impact of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but that the decision to come rests with Trump.

"I invited him [Trump] publicly, but it depends on his wishes," he said in response to an audience question, asking whether Zelenskyy would ask Trump to come to Kyiv.

"If Mr. Trump will come, I'm ready to go with him to the front lines," he added.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.

Zelenskyy ready to take Donald Trump to Ukraine's front line

Draft dodger Trump? Lmao. He wouldn't dare.

I know Zelenskyy knows Trump won't take him up on his offer but I wouldn't trust Trump with ANYTHING to do with Zelenskyy, he would for sure leak everything to Putin.
