The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has criticized the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the peace talks with Russia after three years of meetings without significant progress. Trump acknowledged the devastation in Ukraine but pointed out that Zelensky struggles to reach agreements and lacks influence in the negotiations.
Trump expressed his frustration in an interview with Brian Kilmeade of Fox News Radio, where he described Zelensky's presence in the talks as "unimportant." The American leader has observed the situation in Ukraine for years, mentioning the destruction of cities, the death of civilians, and the impact on soldiers.
"He has no cards," Trump said referring to Zelensky, emphasizing that despite his participation in the talks for three years, no significant progress has been made. The U.S. president mentioned how complicated it is to reach agreements in this context and stressed the devastating consequences that Ukraine has suffered as a result of the conflict.
In summary, Trump questioned Zelensky's effectiveness in the peace negotiations with Russia, arguing that despite the time that has passed, no significant advancements have been made and that Ukraine has been severely affected by the war.
