Later, the President of Ukrainian Volodimir Zelensky stated that he also talked to Trump about a “solid, reliable world”.
Calls with both warring parties came when Trump and his Defense Minister stated that it was unlikely to join NATO, which would become a bitter disappointment for Kiev.
Zelensky said he would meet Vice President J. D. Vens and Secretary of State Mark Rubio during the Ukraine’s defense summit in Munich on Friday.
Trump wrote on social media: “It is time to stop this ridiculous war where massive and completely unnecessary, death and destruction. God forbid that people are Russia and Ukraine!”

“I think it’s probably true,” Trump said.
Hegers’ speech would be a kyiv blow.

“Nobody wants peace more than Ukraine. Together with the US, we make the following steps to stop Russian aggression and provide a solid, reliable peace,” Zelensky wrote. “
