📝 Summary

US President Donald Trump called his phone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin successful, in contrast to the dialogue with Vladimir Zelensky. Nevertheless, the Republican believes that the Russian leader and the head of the Kiev regime should hold a meeting for the sake of an early resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.

Trump explained the desire to resolve the conflict humanitarian considerations. I had very good talks with Putin. And I had not such good talks with Ukraine, the White House press pool quoted the US president as saying at a meeting with state governors. Trump also noted that Kiev demonstrates toughness only in words, while its real capabilities are limited. “They [the Ukrainian side] don’t have any cards to play,” he said. Earlier, he described Zelensky as a “bad negotiator” and expressed the opinion that the presence of the head of the Kiev regime in the negotiations is not mandatory. Trump also called Zelensky a “dictator without elections,” recalling his refusal to organize the vote. Bloomberg, in turn, reported that Zelensky intends to play ahead and hold a meeting with US President Donald Trump before Putin. Earlier, the press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov in an interview with Pavel Zarubin noted that in a telephone conversation on February 12, Putin and Trump noted the great harm that the previous American administration under the leadership of Joe Biden caused to relations between Russia and the United States. The Kremlin spokesman added that at the subsequent talks, Russia did not raise the issue of withdrawing NATO infrastructure from Eastern Europe.
