The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Friday that “probably” He will meet with his Ukrainian counterpartVolodimir Zelenski, next week.
“I will probably meet with President Zelenski next week,” Trump said. Asked if that meeting will be in the United States, he replied: «Could be in Washington. Well, I’m not going there [por Kiev]».
Trump has also repeated that he intends to Talk to Russian President by phoneVladimir Putin. During the electoral campaign, the Republican promised to immediately end the war in Ukraine once he returned to power, but has never announced the details of his peace plan.
This week Zelenski said in an interview with British presenter Piers Morgan be willing to negotiate directly with Putin “If it is the only way” to achieve peace. «What is my attitude regarding him [Putin]? I will not be kind to him and I consider that he is an enemy. And, to be honest, I think he considers me an enemy too. That’s it, ”he said.
For its part, the Kremlin described as “Empty words” Zelenski’s disposition, since for Moscow the Ukrainian president lacks legitimacy to continue in office.
“The disposition must be based on something”replied on Wednesday the main spokesman of the Russian presidency, Dimitri Peskov, in statements to the media. In this sense, he has appealed to “pragmatism” when deciding the way to follow, also in the political and diplomatic sphere.
