**Ukrainian Leader Previously Made “Nasty Aspersions” About Former US President**
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced plans to meet with Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky this Friday in New York.
Zelensky has already engaged with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrats' candidate for the upcoming presidential election in November, and he has also expressed interest in meeting Trump.
“I will be meeting with him tomorrow morning at around 9:45 at Trump Tower,” Trump stated during a press conference in New York City on Thursday afternoon.
Earlier that day, Trump shared a message from Ukraine’s deputy ambassador to the US on his TruthSocial platform, which conveyed Zelensky’s request for a meeting.
“Dear Donald, I hope you’re doing well. I recall our recent phone call – it was really good,” Zelensky wrote. “All of us in Ukraine want to end this war with a just peace. And we know that without America this is impossible to achieve. That’s why we have to strive to understand each other and remain in close contact.”
“You know I always speak with great respect about everything connected to you, and that’s how it should be,” the Ukrainian president added, expressing his desire for the meeting to take place.
This request follows a period of tension, as Trump had previously criticized Zelensky for making “little nasty aspersions” about him and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, in a recent interview.
At a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump described Ukraine as “absolutely obliterated” and accused Biden and Harris of “feeding Zelensky money and munitions like no country has ever seen before.”
“We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal,” Trump remarked, referring to Zelensky. “Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.”
