after a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump promises to “resolve” the conflict if he is elected president

The Republican made this commitment after a meeting Friday with the Ukrainian president in New York.

Donald Trump pledged to “solve” the conflict in Ukraine in the event of victory in the American presidential election, following a very delicate meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, Friday September 27. “This war should never have happened, but we will resolve it”said the former American president from New York, without explaining how he would go about it. The billionaire called the conflict “complex puzzle”and called for a “fair deal for everyone” between Ukraine and Russia.

Just before his exchange with the Ukrainian president, Donald Trump had already praised his “very good relationship” with Volodymyr Zelensky, but also with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I hope we have better relations”reacted the Ukrainian president, visibly embarrassed. Before assuring that he and Donald Trump shared the same objective: “End the war.”

Traveling in the United States since Sunday, Volodymyr Zelensky met current President Joe Biden, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, American parliamentarians as well as dignitaries from many countries, on the sidelines of the 79th general assembly of the UN.

“The United States plays a key role in a victory for the Ukrainians against Russia. Afterwards, it would be a question of defining what we mean by Ukraine’s victory. The question remains important”explained Thursday on franceinfo Guillaume Ancel, former officer.

American President Joe Biden announced Thursday a “increase” military aid to Ukraine, with an envelope of nearly 8 billion dollars and new long-range munitions. “Russia will not win”launched the American leader at the end of this meeting. But he did not comment on whether or not to authorize the firing of long-range missiles manufactured in the United States towards Russia, for which Ukraine is hoping for a green light. Joe Biden also called for a high-level summit to be held in October with 50 countries allied to Ukraine, in Germany.

Volodymyr Zelensky’s meeting with Donald Trump promised to be more tense. The latter regularly denounces the enormous amounts released by Washington for kyiv since 2022. This week again, the septuagenarian described Volodymyr Zelensky as a “best salesperson on the planet”. “Every time he comes to our country, he leaves with 60 billion dollars”he quipped. A figure which refers to the envelope promised by Washington to kyiv in April, but which is very far from the other amounts obtained by Ukraine since the start of the war, in February 2022.
