Today, March 19, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will speak with American leader Donald Trump. The day before, Trump spoke with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
“Today I will have a contact with President Trump. We will discuss the details with him today. I think the details of the next steps. We had a really good meeting between our teams. I believe that everything was going right, except for Russia, which is always unhappy when something goes right,” he said.
According to Zelenskyy, he and Trump will discuss the details of the next steps to resolve Russia's war against Ukraine. The President added that he expects to hear from Trump the details of his conversation with Putin.
“I heard some details (about the talks between Trump and Putin - ed.). Our teams have been talking from night to night, but I would like to talk about the details when I have a direct dialog with Trump. After that, I have to talk about some details. We are ready to send our technical team to discuss the next steps. I will be able to tell you when this meeting will take place and in what format a little later,” Zelenskyy said.
The last public dialog between Trump and Zelenskyy ended in conflict. On February 28, the President of Ukraine visited the White House and during their conversation, Donald Trump and US Vice President J.D. Vance argued with Zelenskyy about the war and Ukraine's alleged ingratitude.
