“He was very benevolent”: Zelensky spoke about a frank conversation with Trump

09/14/2024 – Translated from Ukrainian via Google and OFP

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared details of his conversation with US presidential candidate Donald Trump, which took place two months ago. The head of state called it “good” and noted that the American politician was benevolent, he “understands how hard it is to survive during a war.”

The Ukrainian leader spoke about this in an interview with American CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria. Commenting on Trump’s latest statements, Zelensky said that he does not understand them, but election statements are not always real, although they made Ukraine worry.

"He was very benevolent": Zelensky spoke about a frank conversation with Trump

“But I had a phone call with Donald Trump, and he was very supportive, we had a good conversation. We’re talking about a conversation about two months ago. He understands how difficult it is to survive during a war. That’s why I want to share this plan, to hear his reaction,” the president said.

At the same time, he noted that he would first introduce the peace plan to American leader Joe Biden. He also believes it is right to show it to both presidential candidates – Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as to the US Congress. After that, the peace plan will be shown to the people.

Let us recall that Trump’s team had previously voiced a possible approach to ending the war in Ukraine. The plan could include the creation of a “demilitarized zone” on Ukrainian territory and our country’s refusal to join NATO. Such an approach would differ significantly from the current policy of the Joe Biden administration, which is aimed at providing military and other assistance to Ukraine.

As reported by OBOZ.UA:

– Trump has said that if he wins the election, he will end the war in Ukraine before he is officially inaugurated – his inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 2025. His plan is to cut energy prices by half or more.

– US Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Trump’s “peace plan” and his promises to end the war in 24 hours. This ending, she said, would be Trump simply abandoning support for Ukraine.

  1. Former Trump appointees; Kurt Volker, Lev Parnas, John Bolton and Alexander Vindman, all wrote books that testify of Trump’s hatred of Ukraine, with exact word-for-word quotes. A fifth former appointee; Mark Milley, has had to take elaborate security precautions; probably for the rest of his life, as a result of Trump calling for his execution.
    Trump is a spiteful and vindictive individual and while he is in with a 50-50 chance of becoming president, Zel has absolutely no choice but to make nice with him.
    No choice whatsoever.

  2. Geez Harris or Trump. What a choice. I choose someone lame in the WH rather than someone who is a lunatic.
