President-elect of the United States Donald Trump said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is interested in making a “deal” with Russia. After meeting with Zelensky in Paris, he said this through a post on the social media site Truth Social.
This information is known from a report of the Russian media Moscow Times.
“Zelensky and Ukraine are interested in making a deal to stop this madness,” Trump wrote in a post on the social media site Truth Social.
He also wrote, 'Ceasefire should be negotiated immediately. Many people lost their lives, many families became destitute. This war cannot go on forever.'
Trump came to Paris yesterday Saturday to participate in the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. At this time, he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron. Earlier, he had his first official meeting with the Ukrainian president since his election victory in November.
On the other hand, a few hours before the meeting of these three leaders, the Biden administration announced a military aid package of about 1 billion dollars for Ukraine.
The package of new military aid includes drones, ammunition for Himmers rocket launchers, artillery systems, tanks and parts for armored vehicles, the Pentagon said in a statement.
Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly promised to immediately end the war in Russia and Ukraine if he returns to the White House. He claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he had been president.
Even after winning the election, Trump promised to end the war. However, he did not say anything about how to end the war.
In a statement on the Ukrainian government website on Sunday, Zelensky said he had a “good meeting” with Trump. In the meeting, he appealed to Trump, “a fair and permanent peace agreement is needed in Ukraine.” May the Russians never violate it again in the future. As they have done many times in the past.'
In this statement, Zelensky also said, 'The war cannot end with just a piece of paper and a few signatures. If there is no certainty, the war can start again at any moment.'
He called for the use of 'power' against Putin and said – 'We are counting on the help of America and the whole world to stop Putin. The only way to stop him is the unity of the United States and the whole world.'
