Zelenskyy demands a strong U.S. reaction if Putin refuses a bilateral meeting as Trump works to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he wants a «strong reaction» from the U.S. government if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not sit down with him for a bilateral meeting.
This comes as U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to broker a peace agreement between the two countries that have been at war since Moscow’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, although Trump has conceded that Putin may not be prepared to make a deal.
Zelenskyy has said he has already agreed to a proposed meeting with Putin.
«I responded immediately to the proposal for a bilateral meeting: we are ready.
