sincerely? It's not my job to make Trump happy."
At the meeting in Copenhagen, a journalist asked Zelensky if he was sending the Ukrainian delegation to negotiations in Abu Dhabi to please Donald Trump.
"It may not sound very polite, but my job is not to make Trump happy. My task is to do everything to attract Americans and Europeans to negotiations," the Ukrainian president responded.
Zelensky also referred to Trump's rapprochement with Putin. According to him, perhaps the American president hoped in this way to convince the Kremlin to negotiate, among other things through easing sanctions and economic deals with Russia. "But today we see that it didn't work," Zelensky said, calling on Trump to look for other ways to put pressure on Putin.
