Ukraine showed great disrespect to Russia during their first meeting, Trump said.
This is how the US president answered the question of whether it is possible to understand Zelensky given that Russia invaded his country.
"Well, it is. But during their first meeting, Russia showed great disrespect. So I won't say anything," Trump said.
Let us remember that Zelensky and Putin met for the first and only time in 2019 in Paris, where they discussed how to implement the Minsk agreements.
At the same time, the American president refused to answer who he trusts more - Putin or Zelensky.
"I prefer not to talk, but I have a good relationship with both of them. I believe this war will end, and end soon. And the only reason it will end will be me," Trump said.
