Trump says he’ll host 2025 Kennedy Center Honors
Ahead of Trump’s summit in Alaska on Friday with Putin, Zelenskyy said he told Trump and European allies on a virtual call this morning that Putin is “bluffing.”
During a press conference with German Chancellor Fredrich Merz in Berlin after the virtual call, the Ukrainian president said that they have to combine negotiations with pressure on Russia.
“Sanctions should be strengthened if Russia will not go for ceasefire in Alaska,” Zelenskyy said.
He added that he wants there to be a ceasefire with Russia and for there eventually to be a meeting among the three leaders.
He added, “Of course, we discussed the battlefield today, told President Trump and all our European allies, Putin is bluffing. Russia wants to occupy the whole Ukraine. This is his wish.”
