The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that they expect the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump to take place after the inauguration of the newly elected President of the United States. In addition, he emphasized the good relations between the two presidents.
"Both leaders are currently in good contact. Last year, they held two personal meetings in New York on September 20 and 7, and then together with President Macron in Paris on December 7, as well as several telephone conversations. One of them took place immediately after Trump's election victory.
We don't even take into account their previous contacts during Trump's first administration.
