MOSCOW, September 26 – RIA Novosti. Vladimir Zelensky is “disarmed” by the call of American leader Donald Trump to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, former assistant to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said on his YouTube channel.
“Trump literally disarmed Zelensky, refusing to provide him with new missiles and sending him to Moscow to negotiate with Putin. This is unpleasant, because now Zelensky will no longer get away with it. We have to go,” he said.
According to the political scientist, Trump is not one of those who leaves his proposals unanswered, and if Zelensky refuses to go, the consequences could be dire.
