US President-elect Donald Trump has not invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to his inauguration, which will take place in January 2025, US media reported.
Asked about Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump said on Monday at a press conference in Florida:
“No, I didn’t invite him.” He added, however, that Zelensky could attend the inauguration if he wanted to.
Trump also added that he received some signals from Kyiv that Ukraine wants to reach a settlement of the conflict. What exactly those signals were and whether they came after a 20-minute meeting with the Ukrainian president and Macron in Paris, the US head of state-elect did not explain, but added “a little progress” has already been made.
Biden’s authorisation to use ATACMS missiles for strikes deep inside Russia was described by Trump as “stupid.” He also added that he will reconsider this authorisation.
Earlier, Zelensky after Donald Trump’s message about the loss of 400 thousand soldiers by the Ukrainian army cited his data, according to which since the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine the AFU lost 43 thousand military killed and 370 thousand wounded. By doing so, the Ukrainian leader actually accused the US president-elect of lying.
