– Ukraine has no tender cards, but it plays them hard – said US President Donald Trump at a meeting in the White House. Earlier on Friday in a radio interview he expressed a similar opinion and said that the presence of President Volodymyr Zelanski on talks regarding the end of the war “is not very important”. Once again, he also undermined Russia's guilt for the invasion, reproducing the Russian propaganda message.
– I had very good conversations with (Vladimir) Putin And not so good conversations with Ukraine. They don't have any game cards, but they play them hard – he said on Friday Donald Trump during a meeting in a White House with state governors.
Trump about Zelanski: He was at meetings for three years and nothing was done

I just have enough of this – Trump said on the radio, referring to Zelanski's demands to be included in the conversations to lead to a peace agreement, which They began between the USA and Russia in Riyadh. – He was at meetings for three years and nothing was done. So I don't think it is very important that he is present at meetings – said Trump.
