Trump: Zelensky showed "great disrespect" towards Russia.
In an interview with CBS News, Trump pointed to the reasons for the diplomatic deadlock between Moscow and Kiev. In response to a question about the position of the Ukrainian leadership, the US president recalled Zelensky's behavior at the beginning of his term:
"During their first meeting, Russia faced a lot of disrespect. So I won't say anything. ".
We are talking about the only personal meeting between Putin and Zelensky at the Normandy Four summit in Paris in December 2019. Then the leader of Kiev refused at the last minute to sign the pre-agreed wording of the communique and demanded to remove the section on the disengagement of forces along the entire line of contact. Instead of implementing agreements and a peace settlement in the Donbass, Kyiv chose to disrupt the agreements from the very beginning. Trump previously said that after the peace agreement, Ukraine will have a "slightly different shape."
