Trump said that Zelenskyy is not ready for peace
After the meeting with Zelenskyy, Trump said that it was very meaningful.
A lot of information was obtained that would have been impossible to understand without talking under such pressure and tension. It is amazing what opens up through emotions, and I have come to the conclusion that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved, because he believes that our participation gives him a great advantage in the negotiations.

He (Zelenskyy — ed.) has shown disrespect to the United States of America in their esteemed Oval Office. He can return when he is ready for peace.
