The publication notes that these talks mark a sharp shift in relations that were previously characterized by tension, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky privately noting that months of direct communication at the adviser level have changed Trump's views on the war and Ukraine's prospects.
According to sources close to both presidents, his task was to convince Trump that supporting Ukraine is in the U.S. interest and to appeal to the president's desire to be associated with success — an argument that has gained great popularity in recent months.
