Quote: "I know Zelenskyy very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them.
I would tell Zelenskyy, no more. You got to make a deal.
I would tell Putin, if you don't make a deal, we're going to give him a lot. We're going to [give Ukraine] more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day."
Background:
- On 26 March 2023, former US president and likely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised his voters to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of being elected to a second term. Later, he also repeated this thesis.
- On 13 May, Zelenskyy recalled that Trump, who repeatedly promised to end Russia's war against Ukraine in 24 hours, had not done so before the full-scale invasion.
- On 3 June, Zelenskyy noted that he "did not understand" the words of former US President Donald Trump that he would have ended the full-scale war in one day, putting Kyiv and Moscow at the negotiating table.
- On 9 July, Zelenskyy said that US President Joe Biden could end the war in Ukraine in five minutes if it were a question of surrendering Ukrainian territories, but the country would not agree to this.
