I don't see why he would. He tried negotiations and ceasefires before - but Russia always broke them, so he doesn't trust Putin - understandably. But this time he has EU countries policing a ceasefire.

UK and France to work with Ukraine on peace plan to be presented to US, Starmer says, before major defence summit – live
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to join European, Canadian and Turkish leaders for summit on Ukraine
When Zelenskyy spoke to reporters at Stansted before flying out of the UK, he seemed in good spirits, Reuters reports.
Zelenskyy said he did not think the U.S. would stop its assistance to Ukraine, because as “leaders of the civilized world” they would not want to help Putin.
But he said he remained prepared for any outcome.
A war that cost us a whole load of money? hardly
But that in itself is funny. Trump did not want Europe to be in the talks and yet wanted us to police the ceasefire. Well is it our business or not?

Nope. Zellensky started with the the file folder full of photos. That discussion should have been in private. JMO.

And threes years of war for the Ukrainian people. Not good. JMO.
Tbh people are calling Zelensky a hero. All the papers here Saturday were against Trump. The EU as a whole are totally supporting him and IMO will continue to do so. I think it has brought them closer together.‘He defended our honour’: Ukraine reacts to Zelenskyy’s clash with Trump

And that is a major point!
"Thirty years ago, on 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia.
Strictly speaking, the missiles belonged to the Soviet Union, not to its newly independent former republics.
“The pledges on security assurances that [we] have given these three nations…underscore our commitment to the independence, the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of these states,” then US President Bill Clinton said in Budapest.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994. Now it's asking why
It's 30 years since Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal. Some now question why they did.

So does this mean Trump is in breach of contract? JMO MOO
The US has an OBLIGATION to give Ukraine security guarantees JMO
There was a meeting here today and it went very well. Zelensky was then flown to see the King for an hour which for him was a long visit.36m ago18.36 ESTUK and France to work with Ukraine on peace plan to be presented to US, Starmer says, before major defence summit – live

As leaders finished their talks in the UK, the war in Ukraine continues. A Russian drone struck a multi-storey apartment building late on Sunday in Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv, triggering a fire and injuring eight people, the city’s mayor said. Reuters reports:

Ukraine government agreed to the deal, Zelensky went there to sign the agreement. He derailed it by demanding security which was not originally written into the agreement. JMO MOO
What and just sat there and been insulted and not react? It does not work that way. Oh and incidentally when he went to see the King he wore the same sort of clothes. HE did not say a thing !
Yeah? he gets on ok with other leaders. Unlike Trump and Vance
He always said he wanted security. Why would he not when Russia had broken every agreement between them?

Donald Trump has announced that Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the White House on Friday to sign a rare earth minerals deal, but the US will not provide significant security guarantees to Ukraine as part of the agreement.
The conclusion of a deal, which Trump has claimed would allow the US to recoup hundreds of billions of dollars it spent on military aid to Kyiv, followed days of intense negotiations in which Zelenskyy said he wanted the US to guarantee Ukraine’s security against the ongoing Russian invasion.
Uncertainty remains over the specifics of the agreement, which would establish a joint fund between the US and Ukraine that would receive revenues from the mining of rare earth metals and other precious minerals in Ukraine, as well as some oil and gas revenues.
Trump announced during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday that he could confirm that Zelenskyy would arrive in Washington on Friday to sign the deal, calling it a “very big agreement that will be on rare earth and other things”.
Zelenskyy had resisted pressure from the US to sign a draft of the deal at the Munich Security Conference earlier this month that would have established a joint fund 100% owned by the US, according to media reports. “I will not sign what 10 generations of Ukrainians will have to pay back,” he said at a news conference on Sunday.
Media reports suggested the draft contained only vague language on security guarantees.
Zelenskyy described the deal as “preliminary”, adding that it was “just a start, a framework, it can be a big success”.
The Ukrainian leader said that if he visited the White House on Friday, he would be “very direct” in asking whether the US would continue supporting Ukraine or not. “If we don’t get security guarantees, we won’t have a ceasefire, nothing will work, nothing,” he said.
