The thread comes a day after a public debacle between Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump during their meeting Friday in the Oval Office. Tensions ran high during the meeting and resulted in the Ukrainian president's ouster from the White House.
According to The Hill, Trump said Zelenskyy was not ready to make a peace deal and "overplayed his hand."
Zelenskyy said in his thread on Saturday, "It's understandable the U.S. might look for dialogue with Putin." He went on to say that "together" Ukraine and the U.S. "can take strong steps against Putin."
In fact, the U.S. is already negotiating with Russia. Last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia to discuss terms. The meeting sparked an immediate reaction from European leaders who held an emergency meeting in Paris, ostensibly to strategize continued support for the war.
what a debacle that was. Absolutely embarrassing
Heads of state tend to dress in their best attire, based upon their culture. Zelenskyy shows up for meetings in a sweatshirt.
I would say he's in the middle of a war, but he's miles away and probably a few stops along the way. But is there a tailor where he is? Could the U.S not have offered him one?
So many possibilities, but yes he's addressing the world at a world stage.
