Trump believes that Zelenski is willing to give Crimea to Putin
The American president, Donald Trump, said Sunday that he believes that President Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, is willing to give Crime to Russia and that he is “very disappointed” with the position of the Kremlin in the negotiations to put an end to the conflict.
On board the Air Force 1 that displaced him from his golf course in New Jersey to Washington, Trump revealed that he spoke briefly with the Ukraine about Crimea and that he believes that Zelenski is ready to yield the Peninsula invaded by Russia in 2014 and subsequently annexed, since it is something that “passed 12 years ago”.
“That was (guilt) of President Obama. They delivered it without having to shoot. So they don’t talk to me about Crimea. That you talk about Crimea with (Barack) Obama and (Joe) Biden,” Trump said in reference to the conversation he had with the Ukrainian President on Saturday at the Vatican during the funeral of Pope Francis.
According to Trump, who met in the middle of San Pedro with Zelenski, Ukraine told him that he has been asking for more armament for three years to deal with Russia and considered that the meeting was very good and that in the next few days progress can be shown in the three -band negotiations to reach a high fire in Ukraine with Russia.
“I see it [a Zelenski] calmer. I think I understand the photo and I think he wants an agreement to be reached, ”said the president in a message that contrasts with past statements on which the Ukrainian president was responsible for wanting to continue prolonging the conflict and of not wanting to reach peace. On the contrary, Trump said:“ Russia has surprised me and disappointed, I am very disappointed by the bombings of those places [en Ucrania] after negotiations. ”
On Friday, Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, visited Moscow to get a commitment that allows a high fire between Russia and Ukraine, while the Russian army bombed Ukraine and Trump urged Putin to stop attacks immediately.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said in an interview in the Meet the Press program that the Trump administration could abandon its efforts to mediate in a high fire if Ukraine and Russia do not advance in consensus for peace and added: “It has to pass soon. We cannot continue spending time and resources if there are no fruits.” (EFE)
