- Zelensky considers the meeting with Trump and Macron to be productive and positive.
Trump partially revealed his plans
This happened during the first interview of the Republican leader after his victory in the presidential elections.
The journalist asked the future head of the White House whether Ukraine should prepare for a reduction in US aid when he returns to office
Probably. Sure — answered Donald Trump.
The journalist also reminded that he promised to end the war between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours and even before he officially became the president.
I'm trying, Trump said.
According to the latter, he has not yet had negotiations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin after winning the elections.
And then he quickly clarified that "I haven't spoken to him recently."
How Zelensky commented on the talks with Trump and Macron
According to the president of Ukraine, the meeting was "good and productive".
Volodymyr Zelenskyi also added that they had time to discuss the situation on the ground and a "just peace".
In addition, the politicians concluded that they will continue to work together and maintain contact.
I said that we need a just and strong peace that the Russians will not destroy in a few years, as they have already done. This is clear not only for our country and region. We see how Russia is now trying to conquer Georgia after several wars against this country. Russia still does not let go of Moldova. The Russians are now fleeing Syria, but that doesn't mean they won't try to sow death there again.
