Trump started seeing things a little different

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski believes that meeting with his American counterpart Donald Trump on April 26 allowed the latter to see the conflict in Ukraine ‘slightly different’, AFP reports on Saturday.

« I am confident that, after our Vatican meeting, President Trump began to see things a little differently, » Zelenski said, in a meeting with a group of journalists on Friday night. His statements were under Embargo until Saturday.

He also stated that he did not want to ‘play’ with the short armistice proposed by his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, including a cease of fire between May 8 and 10, considering that the deadlines are too short to be able to make serious discussions.

‘It is impossible to reach an agreement in three, five or seven days. Let’s be honest. It’s theater on his part (of Vladimir Putin, n.red.afp). In two or three days it is impossible to find a plan to establish the following steps to put an end to the war. It doesn’t seem serious, « Zelenski said, asking for an unconditional armistice for 30 days again.

He claimed that ‘no one will help Putin play this type of game to sweeten his exit on the isolation on May 9, and to do the leaders, friends and partners of Putin who will come to the red market for a reason or another to feel comfortable and safe’, referring to the leaders who would be present in Germany.

Zelenski added that Kiev cannot guarantee the ‘security’ of international leaders present in Moscow.

‘It is not known what Russia will do at that time. He could take various measures, such as fires, explosions and then blame us, « he said.
