"He knows Putin": Zelensky explained why Trump should come to Ukraine

Zelensky told about it in a conversation with The Guardian. According to the President, Donald Trump should see the results of which the Russian dictator Putin brought to Ukraine. So far in Ukraine and the US are afraid that in the case of Trump's victory in the election, it can stop assisting Ukraine in the war. Last year, Trump boasted that he could put an end to the war in 24 hours.

Trump's assistants have previously caught a possible plan that envisages the transfer of Russia to the eastern regions of Ukraine, as well as Crimea. But Zelensky made it clear that "Ukrainians would not suffer. " They will also not accept the Russian "ultimatum", which will make Ukraine give up integration with Europe and future membership in NATO, he said. Zelensky believes that Trump would need to understand the situation more deeply and see with his own eyes that is happening in Ukraine.

"He knows Putin, as far as I understand from some statements. I think to know Putin not only to communicate with him, but also to see the results of what he brought to Ukraine. You will understand more with whom you are dealing with," Zelensky explained Noting that he does not yet know which strategy of communication to choose with Trump if the 45th President of the United States will return to the White House. "I want to talk to him openly. I want him to come and see the war with his own eyes.

And then talk to him. I think he will need it to better understand the situation," Zelensky said. Donald Trump risks to becoming a "non-resident president" if he wins the November elections and enters Ukraine with a bad peace agreement, said Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying that it would mean the end of the United States as a global player in the world political arena. Zelensky acknowledged that Trump, in the event of re -election, could really inflict a devastating military defeat to Ukraine.

It can stop "support, weapons and money" and even "conclude agreements" with partners of Kiev to stop the supply of vital weapons. "Ukraine with bare hands, without weapons will not be able to fight a multimillion -dollar Russian army," Zelensky said in an interview. Speaking at his presidential headquarters, he said he considers such a scenario to be unlikely. But he said that if this happens, it would have serious consequences for the US situation in the world, as well as for Trump personally.

He suggested that Vladimir Putin would violate any agreement concluded by Trump. "A truce is a trap," he said. According to him, after the pause, Putin "goes on", humiliation of Trump and forcing him to look "very weak" in the eyes of the world. "It is not about Trump as a person but about the United States institutions. They will become very weak. The US will no longer be a world leader.

Yes, they will be powerful, especially in the domestic economy, because they are undoubtedly powerful The economy. And this can encourage other authoritarian leaders to "get into the arena", following Putin's aggressive approach. And in the end, it will end with a global disaster: "The beginning of what everyone is so afraid of saying. It is a reality.
