US President Donald Trump said that he does not consider Volodymyr Zelensky innocent in a situation where there is no clear movement towards peace in Ukraine.

„Zelensky is not innocent either. It takes two to tango“, the American leader said at a meeting of the presidential cabinet at the White House, talking about the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.

„I always say that they should meet“, Trump added, talking about a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky.

„Now I get along with Zelensky. Now we have a different relationship because we are no longer paying Ukraine anything“, the US president noted. "NATO buys all the military equipment and pays for it in full," he added.

"I have a very good relationship with President Putin. Very, very good. Again, that's a positive thing," Trump stressed.
