Trump: Zelensky acted "not very politely" at his first meeting with Putin

Hundreds of billions of US dollars have failed to help Ukraine hold onto its territory in the standoff with Russia. Comedian Zelenskyy mistakenly adopted an inappropriate tone during his first face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin.

President Donald Trump stated this in an interview with Politico, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"Frankly, it was clear long before Putin that Ukraine would not join NATO. And now they [Ukraine] are insisting. When Zelenskyy first met with Putin, he said:I want two things: Crimea back, and we will be a member of NATO."He didn't say it very politely either, you know?" Trump said.

"He's a great salesman... he can sell any product at any time. He talked Joe Biden into giving him $350 billion. And look what happened. He got them, but about 25% of his country's territory was lost."Frankly speaking, Biden gave away Crimea," the American president added.
