Trump announces meeting with Zelenskyy in Davos
US President Donald Trump has said at the World Economic Forum that he will meet with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Davos.
Source: European Pravda
Details: Trump mentioned the meeting with Zelenskyy while speaking about his efforts to settle the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Quote: "I'm dealing with President Putin, and he wants to make a deal, I believe. I'm dealing with President Zelenskyy, and I think he wants to make a deal. I'm meeting him today." [N.B. Ukrainska Pravda does not recognise Putin as president – ed.]
Details: However, European Pravda notes that there are reasons to believe that Trump misspoke about the timing of the meeting. Information from European Pravda indicates that the meeting in Davos may take place, but not on Wednesday.
Background:
- On 20 January, Zelenskyy said that a meeting with the US side in Davos would require concrete results as a precondition.
- He also suggested that he might not travel to Switzerland for the World Economic Forum in Davos due to the critical situation in Ukraine's energy sector.
- Trump previously said he would meet Zelenskyy in Davos if the Ukrainian president was there.
