Details: Trump said the meeting with Zelenskyy at the White House was "very meaningful".
"Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations," the US president added.
Instead, Trump says, "I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE."
"He [Zelenskyy – ed.] disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace," he concluded.
