Rubio on longer duration of Trump’s conversation with Putin: they spoke to Zelenskyy in English immediately
Due to a technical issue with the translation, US President Donald Trump's conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was longer than with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Censor.NET reports with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
"And the president(Trump- Ed.) spoke with Zelenskyy yesterday (Rubio's interview took place on February 13 - Ed.). He spoke freely with him for about 45 minutes," he said.
According to Rubio, "people are saying, look how much shorter it was" (compared to the conversation between Trump and Putin - ed.).
"The difference is that with Putin, you have these translators, and it just takes forever back and forth. With Zelenskyy, he speaks English, and they can talk and communicate more directly, and it's much faster," the US Secretary of State said.
