The Ukrainian president mocked the words of the former US president, who boasted that he could end the conflict within 24 hours, and offered him a meeting to explain the complexity of the issue.
Volodymyr Zelensky invited Donald Trump to come to Ukraine. In an interview with the American channel NBC, broadcast this Sunday, November 5, the Ukrainian president mentioned the criticism of the former American president, likely Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, who believes the war between Kiev and Kiev to be able to end Moscow in 24 hours if he were re-elected.
“If he can come here, I would need… 24 minutes to explain to President Trump that he cannot solve this war,” Volodymyr Zelensky assured. “Because of Putin, he won’t be able to create peace.”
American financial aid in question
During this interview, the Ukrainian president again called for more help from the United States and believed that after Ukraine, Russia “will attack the NATO countries.” US President Joe Biden urged Congress to vote for $61 billion (57 billion euros) in additional aid to Kiev after the House of Representatives was paralyzed for weeks and Republicans in the majority then had greater difficulty finding a new leader to find discard the old.
But on Thursday, November 2, Republicans in the US House of Representatives passed a major Israel-only envelope, defying Joe Biden, who is demanding that this aid be accompanied by funding for Gaza, Ukraine and partners in Asia. However, the Conservatives’ measure has very little chance of success as the Democratic leader has already threatened to veto the text.
