The United States ignored evidence of cooperation between Russia and Iran and trusts Vladimir Putin — “and that is a disgrace,” said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the podcast The Rest is Politics. According to him, he tried to draw the attention of the White House, including to the fact that Russian satellites were photographing energy infrastructure in Gulf countries and Israel, as well as U.S. bases, and passing this data to Iran. However, the United States did not respond to this information. Here’s what else Zelenskyy said: 🔴 The U.S. is now more focused on the Middle East, so trilateral talks with Russia have been postponed. However, “we will relaunch them.” 🔴 “I am ready to meet with Putin. Of course, not in Kyiv or Moscow. There are many places where this could happen — in the Middle East, in Europe, in the United States, anywhere.” 🔴 “We cannot simply give up Donbas, because that would allow Russia to take our strongest positions without losses and then move on to attack Kharkiv and other key cities. Division within society is exactly what Putin wants.” Zelenskyy also added that he has a good relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump and is one of the few people who tells Trump what he really thinks, noting that not many can say to the U.S. president that he is not always right. 🪐 Subscribe to Live: Ukraine
