He stated that he considered him an enemy and did not want personal negotiations.
“Honestly, I don’t want to talk to him. He is my enemy. We need to understand one thing: we don’t want this war. I don’t believe him, and he doesn’t believe me. My feeling is that he still wants to occupy our entire territory and our entire country,” the head of state said.
On December 28, US President Donald Trump announced a telephone conversation with Putin. It took place before meeting Trump with Zelensky in Miami. The head of the White House called the conversation “good”.
Later at a briefing, he said that the Russians were “ready to help” Ukraine.
“The Russian Federation wants Ukraine to succeed. It sounds a little strange, but I explained to the president… Putin was very sincere in his desire for Ukraine to succeed,” said the head of the White House.
