Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited Donald Trump to visit Ukraine, after the former US president claimed he could end Russia’s war against Ukraine war within 24 hours if he wins reelection next year.
Zelensky questioned Trump’s claim in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, and invited him to visit Ukraine to see the scale of Russia’s invasion himself. “If he can come here, I will need 24 minutes – yes, 24 minutes… to explain President Trump that he can’t manage this war. He can’t bring peace because of Putin,” Zelensky said.
Asked by NBC if he accepted his top general’s characterization, Zelensky said “the situation is difficult,” but did not think the war had reached a “stalemate.” “We hold the initiative in our hands. You can imagine what a full-scale war or what two years of a full-scale war is like. Everybody gets tired. Even the iron gets tired. But, nevertheless, I am proud of our warriors and of our people, that they are strong… Our people have a strong desire to win,” he said.
