Trump believes Zelensky doesn't need to be present at negotiations with Russia, stating that reaching agreements with them is challenging.

He stated this during an interview with journalist Brian Kilmeade on Fox radio.

According to him, Zelensky has done a terrible job negotiating with Russia and has accomplished nothing in these three years.

“He has attended meetings for three years but has achieved nothing. So, to be honest, I don’t think it’s very important to be at meetings. It’s very difficult to make agreements with him,” Trump added.

Additionally, Trump accused Kyiv of speaking “tough,” yet having no “trump cards.”

At the same time, he stated that the head of Russia Vladimir Putin “wants to make a deal,” but he “should not do it because if he wanted to, he would have the whole country.”
