A photo of a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his American counterpart Donald Trump appeared on the official White House page on the X social network. The meeting was accompanied by a series of statements that caused a wide resonance.
The publication quotes Trump, who called Zelensky "a brave man who is fighting a brave fight." The American president emphasized that after reviewing the military and economic situation in Ukraine and Russia, he concluded that with the support of the EU and NATO, Ukraine has every opportunity to return to its internationally recognized borders.
"Why not?" Trump remarked, emphasizing that this is a completely realistic scenario, provided there is sufficient patience and financial assistance from partners.
Zelensky, in turn, later explained to reporters how he managed to convince Trump not to trust “Putin’s fairy tales” about the situation on the front. According to the Ukrainian president, he argued his position with specific facts that refute Russian propaganda.
The meeting in the United States was an important signal for Ukraine, as it confirmed the American side's readiness to support Kyiv in the fight against Russian aggression and to contribute to strengthening partnerships at the international level.
