The Wall Street Journal notes that such a summit on Ukraine, without the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, would cause concern among European leaders and others.
In a post on the Truth Social platform, Donald Trump accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday, Sunday, of not wanting to end the war in Ukraine, while defending his decision to suspend sanctions against Russia, emphasizing that he wants to keep Moscow at the negotiating table.
“My decision regarding Russia is very simple. I am in the process of negotiating a peace agreement in the war between Russia and Ukraine. And I don’t want to do anything that would foolishly push Russia away from the negotiating table,” Trump said.
After strongly criticizing Zelenskyy for the attacks he is launching against oil refineries in Russia, Trump accused the Ukrainian president of “doesn’t want this war to end and probably never did. He could have secured a better deal two years ago than he has today.”
