NEW YORK – Former US president and Republican candidate Donald Trump said this Thursday that he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tomorrow at Trump Tower in New York, after criticizing him yesterday at a campaign event.
Trump held a surprise rally at the entrance of his flagship building in the Big Apple on Thursday and said that Zelensky, who has been involved in the United Nations General Assembly, had asked to see him and that they would have a meeting the next morning.
“As you know, President Zelensky has asked to meet with me and I will meet with him tomorrow at approximately 9:45 in the morning at Trump Tower,” he said.
“It’s a shame what’s happening in Ukraine. So many deaths, so much destruction, it’s a horror,” said the politician, who criticized “that Europe pays only a fraction of what the US pays” to support Ukraine in the war with Russia, and urged the community to “pay more.”
Minutes earlier, through his social network Truth, Trump had published an alleged personal message from Zelensky that was sent through the acting ambassador of Ukraine, Denys Sienik, in which the president said that he to hear his “thoughts directly and personally.”
“Everyone in Ukraine wants to end this war with real peace. And we know that it is not possible to achieve this without the United States. That is why we must fight together to understand and be in close contact,” Zelensky tells Trump in that message.
Just yesterday, at a campaign event in North Carolina, Trump criticized the Ukrainian leader, accusing him of “criticizing” him – without specifying – and describing him as ” the best salesman on Earth”, regarding the military support he receives. from the US.
“You know that I will always speak with great respect about everything you have and that’s how it should be,” said Zelensky in his message mediated by diplomacy.
In the recent debate with Kamala Harris, Trump said that he did not intend to keep military aid to Ukraine if he won the elections and that he would end the war with Russia as a priority, without to clarify what the price would be for peace.
