The meeting at the White House between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump was tense, as the US president made it clear that he does not intend to deliver long-range Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv, at least for now, reports Axios citing two sources familiar with how the meeting went this Friday.
A source from the aforementioned media outlet pointed out that the meeting "was not easy", while the other stated that "it was bad". "Nobody yelled, but Trump was tough", commented the first source, while the second indicated that the American president "made several strong statements during the meeting and at some moments this got a little emotional".You may be interested in: Zelensky denounces Russian "military activity" against European countries after incursions
The leader of the Kiev regime hoped to conclude his visit to Washington with commitments on the delivery of Tomahawks, but Trump made him understand that "the US does not want an escalation" of tensions with Russia. According to Axios, Trump made it clear that his current priority is diplomacy and that the delivery of such missiles could undermine these efforts. "I think we're done. We'll see what happens next week," he said at the end of the meeting with Zelensky, referring to the talks he plans to hold with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the summit in the capital of Hungary. Speaking about the ongoing armed conflict, the US President claimed that Russia and Ukraine "must stop where they are" and that "both claim victory", while history decides. He also indicated that "enough blood has been shed and territorial borders have been defined" in combat.
