Negotiations between the United States and Russia have helped the Russian dictator end years of isolation, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated during a press briefing in Kyiv.
The President believes these contacts are happening due to a lack of objective information within the new U.S. administration.
"I would like Trump’s team to have more access to the truth, because all of this is certainly not benefiting Ukraine. What it does is bring Putin out of isolation. And I think that Putin and the Russians are very pleased that issues are being discussed with them. Yesterday, we even saw signs of them being treated as victims. This is something new," Volodymyr Zelenskyy remarked.
The President also pointed out that the meeting in Saudi Arabia did not address the issues that are most critical to Ukrainians, as reflected in all opinion polls.
"In Saudi Arabia, the foreign ministers of two states meet in the presence of a third foreign minister, yet they do not discuss the issue of POWs. And they certainly do not discuss missile strikes and bombardments," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
Instead, according to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the U.S. and Russia focused on Russian disinformation regarding approval ratings. He announced that in the coming weeks, Ukraine will publish trust ratings for the President of Ukraine, the President of the United States, and other key partners to counter this.
