Trump said that Zelenskyy, not Putin, is holding up peace agreement
US President Donald Trump said that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, not Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, is holding up the conclusion of a potential peace agreement.
According to Censor.NET, Trump made this statement in an interview with Reuters.
"Ukraine is less ready to make a deal"
"I think he's (Putin, ed.) ready to make a deal. I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal," Trump said.
In a new interview, the US president said that Putin is allegedly ready to end the invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, according to Trump, Zelenskyy was more reticent.
At the same time, when asked why the US-led negotiations have not yet resolved the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II, Trump replied: "Zelenskiy."
