Although the sides voiced different views on the content of the talks, both presidents called the meeting productive and important.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his official statement, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/V_Zelenskiy_official\/14861\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">emphasized<\/a> the &#8220;long and meaningful meeting&#8221; in which the parties &#8220;covered all truly significant issues,&#8221; including:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li> <strong>ceasefire and achieving genuine peace<\/strong> ,<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> <strong>protection of Ukrainians in time of war<\/strong> ,<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> <strong>American support for Ukraine&#8217;s defense needs<\/strong> .<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p> &#8220;We talked about how to achieve a ceasefire and real peace. We talked about how to protect our people. We appreciate the attention and willingness to help bring peace closer,&#8221; Zelenskyy emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> The president thanked the United States for its strategic support, but noted that details of the conversation were not yet disclosed because sensitive security issues were discussed.<\/p>\n<p> In turn, Donald Trump, during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VSWSiFwK1o8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a press conference,<\/a> <strong>presented the meeting in a more personal and emotional light<\/strong> . He assured that:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li> did not directly discuss the ceasefire with Zelensky,<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> <strong>&#8220;just wanted to see how he was doing&#8221;<\/strong> ,<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> called the Ukrainian president <strong>&#8220;pleasant&#8221; and &#8220;very nice.&#8221;<\/strong><\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p> &#8220;You know, we had a little bit of a tough time. But he couldn&#8217;t have been nicer. It was a great meeting. I think Zelensky would like the war to end. And I understand that,&#8221; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p> It is noted that he did not directly confirm Zelensky&#8217;s statement about peace negotiations, but announced that he was planning a conversation with Putin as early as next week to &#8220;see if we can finish this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> At the same press conference, Trump made a number of high-profile statements:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li> <strong>called Putin a man who is &#8220;confused&#8221; and &#8220;wants to get out of the war&#8221;<\/strong> ,<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> admitted that about <strong>7,000 soldiers from both sides<\/strong> died at the front last week,<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> stated that &#8220;this war would never have happened if he had been president from the beginning.&#8221;<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p> &#8220;I know one thing: he (Putin &#8211; ed.) would like to sort things out. For him, it&#8217;s a complete mess. I&#8217;ll talk to him next week,&#8221; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p> Despite warm personal words and a general desire for peace, the meeting between Zelensky and Trump did not produce clear agreements or public guarantees, in particular regarding further arms supplies or the terms of negotiations with Russia.<\/p>\n<p> However, on the sidelines of the summit, rumors are already circulating that Trump may initiate a new diplomatic platform involving the United States, Russia, and Ukraine if he receives support from European leaders.<\/p>\n<p> The statement also hinted at the possibility of providing additional air defense systems, including Patriot, if &#8220;we can provide it&#8221; \u2014 that&#8217;s how the US president phrased it.<\/p>\n<p> \t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/russia-is-the-main-threat-ukraine-is-a-strategic-priority-results-of-the-nato-summit-in-the-hague\/\">Russia is the main threat, Ukraine is a strategic priority: results of the NATO summit in The Hague<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\nEarlier, United States President Donald <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/tramp-anonsuvav-zustrich-iz-zelenskym-pro-shcho-hovorytymut\/\">Trump confirmed that he would meet with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit<\/a> , which is taking place in The Hague.<\/p>\n<p> As you know, a two-day NATO summit kicked off in The Hague on Tuesday, June 24.
