US president-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is keen on a “deal” to end the war with Russia, after the pair met in Paris to discuss the future of the conflict.
French President Emmanuel Macron hosted three-way talks with Zelensky and Trump at the Elysee Palace on Saturday, as fears grow in Kyiv about the position of the incoming US administration.
Trump has openly scoffed at the billions of dollars in military assistance being sent to Ukraine and once boasted he could end the conflict in 24 hours.
Donald Trump boasting he could end the war in Ukraine in “24 hours?” Life is more complicated than campaign slogans. Nevertheless, the election of the billionaire, reluctant to continue supporting Ukraine, has shifted the dynamics.
Ukraine realized it might be abandoned, as suggested by a crude tweet from the president-elect’s son, likening aid to an attacked country to “pocket money” for Volodymyr Zelensky.
The art of the deal. Just a thought.
