Zelenskyy does not support US plan to end war, - Trump
US President Donald Trump said that the Ukrainian president's entourage supports the US peace plan. However, Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself does not approve of it.
According to Censor.NET, Trump made this statement during a conversation with journalists at the White House.
"I thought we were very close to reaching an agreement with Russia. I thought we were very close to reaching an agreement with Ukraine. In fact, with the exception of President Zelenskyy himself, his people like the draft agreement," the White House chief emphasised.
Trump confirmed that the draft peace plan has "four or five points," including those providing for the division of territories.
The US president recalled his business experience and noted that ending the war in Ukraine is "a thousand times more difficult" than concluding a real estate deal.
