President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that he would like former US President Donald Trump to come to Ukraine to see the traces of war with his own eyes and to talk to him.

Details: Zelenskyy said he would like to have a frank conversation with Trump and would like him to come and see the war with his own eyes.

“It seems that he [Trump] would need it to understand the situation better. He knows [Russian ruler Vladimir] Putin, as far as I understand from some statements. I think that to know Putin, you need not only to communicate with him but also to see the results of what he has brought to Ukraine. You will understand more about who you are dealing with,” he explained.

“If I then had the opportunity to talk to him, as he sees everything, then I would understand, and it would be a starting point for me in terms of strategy,” the president added.

Background

  • After Zelenskyy’s earlier calls for Trump to come to Ukraine, his campaign headquarters said that Donald Trump considers it inappropriate to visit Ukraine now that he is not in office.
  • Trump has often boasted that if elected, he could negotiate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours. However, he has repeatedly refused to publicly specify how he would do so.
  • There have been reports in the media that Trump supposedly seeks to push Ukraine to make concessions to Russia and transfer Ukrainian territories, in particular Crimea and Donbas, under its control.

  1. It would be a good thing to do for Trump, to go to Ukraine and have a first-hand look. It makes a huge difference to see destroyed apartment buildings in pictures or videos on the one hand, and to stand in front of them in person on the other. Maybe Trump would understand better what it’s all about. Maybe looking at such shocking sights will get him to pull his head out of the rat’s ass.
    But, Trump is a narcissist and braggart. He’s also a coward, and he knows that he’s hated by most Ukrainians for his love affair with the one who ordered this war in the first place and who encourages atrocities to be committed against them, so he won’t go to Ukraine.

  2. There is a possibility that Trumpkov might go to Ukraine; as a guest of fuhrer putler.
    The US electorate had better ensure that that never happens.

    • I’m afraid that many, many Americans have their heads stuck way up their asses to see or hear anything resembling reality anymore. They see, hear, taste, and smell only what the orange baboon tells them to see, hear, taste, and smell.

  3. Doesn’t Ukraine deny entry to convicted felons? (From what I’ve read, they don’t actively check whether someone is a convicted felon at a port of entry, but in this case it’s been pretty widely reported.)
