Former U.S. president Donald Trump, who has been deeply skeptical of U.S. involvement in Ukraine, is meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York on Friday, APA reports citing The Washington Post.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he decided to meet with Donald Trump on Friday because it was “very important” to keep the United States informed about next steps in Ukraine.
Zelensky said he hoped the support of the United States would be very strong regardless of who wins the election.
“And that’s why I decided to meet with most candidates, with all of them,” he said.
In his remarks with Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump suggested he would try to broker an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
“We’re going to work very much with both parties to try and get this settled,” said Trump, who added that he has “a very good relationship” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
