“As you know, Zelensky asked to meet me. I will meet him tomorrow morning around 9:45 a.m. at Trump Tower in New York, he declared during a speech to the press.
The meeting between the two men has been the subject of much speculation during the week.
According to the American press, Donald Trump did not appreciate an interview given by Volodymyr Zelensky to the magazine The New Yorker – in which the Ukrainian leader claims that the Republican candidate “doesn’t really know how to stop this war.”
The Republican candidate has repeatedly claimed that he would resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” – without ever explaining how.
In recent months, he has been particularly critical of the billions of dollars spent by the United States to support Kyiv in its war against Moscow, asking Europe to “move on”.
The Ukrainian president is in Washington this Thursday, where he met his counterpart Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s rival in the election, Vice-President Kamala Harris.
