Zelensky at his first meeting with Trapp tried to get security guarantees - Reuters
About it writes Reuters with reference to sources. Journalists talked to five people who were informed of the meeting. The leaders of France, Ukraine and the US spoke within 35 minutes without advisers, but without any specific details of the vision of peace. However, Trump repeated that he wanted an immediate ceasefire and negotiations to quickly put an end to the war. The meeting gave some tips on how negotiations could be held.
But the negotiation process in which Russian President Vladimir Putin will participate with difficulties, and the role of the United States is still unclear. It is reported that at the meeting, Trump behaved kindly, respectfully and openly and was probably in the "hearing mode".
"Some key points were mentioned during the meeting - for example, it was said that peace guarantees were needed, because one ceasefire is not enough, Putin may break it again, as he did before, without proper guarantees," the source in the President's office said Ukraine. Several officials close to Trump have stated that he was trying to build a personal relationship - a key component of his diplomacy. And in the end, he will decide on how to proceed.
It is noted that in general the nature of Trump's relations with Zelensky is different from some of his public statements about the Ukrainian leader during the election campaign, including what the US president called Zelensky the best seller in history. It should be reminded that, according to the Ministry of Finance, without American assistance, Ukraine will be able to fight against the Russian Federation for its money only half of 2025.
