What's going on between Zelensky and Witkoff?
The head of state confirmed to reporters that he had never communicated with Trump's envoy.
I invited all the security advisers, and they were all ready to go — I think something went wrong with Vitkoff. I didn't talk to Vitkoff on the phone. The team met with him in Paris. And the head of my presidential office, Andriy Yermak, spoke with him.
