Donald Trump welcomed Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House for a bilateral meeting and a press conference. “He dressed well, he is elegant,” said the American president jokingly to the Ukrainian leader who wore how often a pole and black trousers often happens. The President of the United States told his Ukrainian counterpart to consider himself “a referee and a mediator” between Russia and Ukraine to achieve peace. “I am here as a referee, as a mediator, to a certain extent, between two parts that have been very hostile,” he said in some statements to journalists from the oval study of the White House. Subsequently
Donald Trump warned Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine “will have to compromise with Russia to get to a truce that is reasonably close”. At that point Zelensky showed Trump’s photos of women and men killed by Moscow forces who, however, asked not to spread them. “I didn’t want to bring those of children. Also in war there are rules, they did not have it, “said the Ukrainian leader referring to Moscow soldiers. Then Zelensky said to Trump: «Together, we can stop Putin but we need the American air defense, the best air defense in the world. Even after the war, it will take us to maintain calm »Volodymyr Zelensky then said he was convinced that Donald Trump is on the side of Ukraine” but Putin is a killer, I don’t want to compromise. I hope to be understood on the minerals is a step forward, I hope this document (the agreement on rare lands with the USA), is a step forward ». Then the conversation became harder with Volodymyr Zelensky who said to Trump: “It is crucial that Washington guarantees safety in Ukraine”. The American president at what point replied: «Everyone speaks of security. I say: first let’s make an agreement ». Then Trump raised his voice by saying: «You are playing with the third world war, or make an agreement or we take out, and if we go out we will have to see it alone. I don’t think it will be a good thing and you will have to face it even if you don’t have the right cards. But once we sign that agreement you will be in a much better position. But you are not showing any gratitude and this is not beautiful. I will be sincere – he continued – it is not a good thing and it will be very difficult to do business in this way ».
Donald Trump He claimed that taking sides hard against Russian President Vladimir Putin would be counterproductive to reach a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine and rejected the concerns that he would have approached too much to the Russian leader. «Well, if I didn’t align with both, you would never have an agreement. You want me to say really terrible things about Putin and then say, bye, Vladimir. How are we going with the agreement? It doesn’t work like this. I am not aligned with Putin. I am not aligned with anyone. I am aligned with the United States of America and, for the good of the world, I am aligned with the world and I want this thing to end, “Trump said the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the oval study. Then as CNN tells referring to Zelensky, Trump continued: «See the hatred he feels for Putin: it is very difficult for me to find an agreement with that type of hatred. I am aligned with the world, “added Trump.” I am aligned with Europe. I want to see if we can do it. Do you want to see hard? I could be so hard, but you will never get an agreement in this way ». Vice -president JD Vance, present in the oval studio, intervened and accused Zelensky “of lacking respect for the Americans. We do not come to the White House, lack of respect for the president in front of the Americans ». The comparison between Donald Trump And Volodymyr Zelensky He went on for about twenty minutes in the oval studio. During the discussion, the American president told the Ukrainian leader that, without the weapons provided by the United States, Ukraine would have lost the war within two weeks. In another moment of the clash, Trump also insulted him, stating that “he is not so intelligent”. Whether it was a disaster or almost shows him a photo taken inside the room by Kaitlan Collins of the CNN, with the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova That he held his head in his hands while observing the heated meeting between the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and President Donald Trump.At the end of the meeting Donald Trump said that Volodymyr Zelensky“He will be able to return to the White House when he is ready for peace “
Then Trump he added on Truth: «We had a very significant meeting at White house Today. We learned a lot that it could never have been understood without a conversation under fire and a pressure of the genre. It is incredible what emerges through emotion, and I have established that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved, because he believes that our involvement gives him a great advantage in negotiations. I don’t want an advantage, I want peace. He missed respect for the United States of America in their beloved oval study. He can return when he is ready for peace, “concluded Trump. Below is an official of the White House has communicated that the two presidents would not keep the joint conference.
We reached the American analyst Irina Tsukerman For a first comment: «The meeting between the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the President of the United States Donald Trump, together with the vice president JD Vancehas marked a considerable change in the position of Washington against Kiev. Public reproach a Zelensky He underlines a recalibration of US policy, which gives priority to transactional diplomacy and puts pressure on Ukraine to make concessions in line with Trump’s vision to reduce American involvement in the war. The meeting can be described as a complete disaster, which has escaped hands. Trump and Vance’s approach seems to want to weaken Zelensky’s negotiating position, discouraging him from assuming a hard position on territorial integrity or NATO adhesion. The comparison also sends a message to the European allies: the United States under Trump will not be an unconditional supporter of Ukraine, potentially pushing it to take on a greater burden. Nationally, Trump It is reporting to its basis that it is putting “America in first place” by cutting the support for Ukraine and avoiding further involvement in foreign conflicts. Zelensky, at his merit, did not give up or pulled back, and took these highly personal attacks with philosophy, refusing to allow Trump, to Vance and whatever interest they represent to humiliate it or to weaken its determination and position ». But the way to Volodymyr Zelensky From today it is really uphill.
