Zelenskyy laughed at Donald Trump’s statement about Putin’s positive words
US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met to advance the pending agenda of peace talks to finally end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and discuss US military aid and Kiev’s expectations from Washington amid changing geopolitical dynamics. But during Sunday’s talks, Trump underlined that Ukraine and Russia are “closer than ever” to a peace deal.
President Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his Florida resort and also emphasized that Moscow wants Kiev to succeed. “Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed,” Trump said while briefing the media at the afternoon press conference where he was accompanied by Zelenskyy. Donald Trump, who made such a contradictory statement, admitted that it was “weird”.
The US President has been working hard to bring the two sides to the same table to negotiate a peace deal, and this latest meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy is another take on the final plan.
“Russia will help. Russia wants Ukraine to succeed once – it sounds a little strange, but I was explaining to the President that President Putin has been very generous in his failure to help Ukraine succeed, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices. So a lot of good things came out of that call today,” Trump said.
How did Zelenskyy react to this?
Zelenskyy remained speechless after listening to Trump talk about ‘Russia’s help’ and, moreover, that Russia wanted him to succeed. Even the President of Ukraine laughed. Many videos have been widely shared on social media platforms and show Zelenskyy being shocked by Trump’s statement and then laughing. Zelenskyy’s reaction went viral and social media users questioned Trump’s claim and were in disbelief at the events that have caused serious damage with Russia’s latest attacks.
Trump’s comments came after a productive phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite Russia’s ongoing attacks in Ukraine, Trump expressed his belief that Putin still has an interest in achieving peace. He also praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his leadership and resilience. At the press conference held in the afternoon after the meeting, Trump said, ‘Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed.’ He repeatedly referred to Zelenskyy as ‘brave’.
