Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky extended an invitation to Donald Trump to come visit, while stressing his war-torn nation needs at least one more year of heavy US support.
Trump has long crowed that he could end the war in 24 hours if he becomes president, but Zelensky gently suggested he would disabuse the former president of that notion.
Zelensky noted that he hasn’t had any contact with Trump since the latter departed the White House and conceded he doesn’t know if the former president would have Ukraine’s back. But the Ukrainian president underscored that the next year will be critical in the fighting to stave off Russian invaders. Zelensky re-upped his entreaty to the American public for further US aid, by highlighting the benefits to the US of backing Ukraine.
“On the 24th of February , when Russia invaded our country, our land, our families, and they attacked all of us. The world gave us three day,” Zelensky recalled. “Some European countries who really believed in us, they said one month.”
