Donald Trump can’t solve the problem of the Ukraine war, Volodymr Zelensky has said, as he repeated calls for the president to visit him on the front line.
The Ukrainian president told Fox News he “can’t understand how” Trump would end the war in 24 hours, adding, “he [Trump] can’t solve this problem, this tragedy with me”.
Mr Zelensky added that after a visit to the front line: “he will see what’s going on, and after that, I think he will change his mind”.
On Saturday, he told the Munich Security Conference that he was ready to take Trump to the frontlines in Ukraine, saying policy makers should see what real war entails.
Trump, the likely Republican nominee in the November presidential election, opposes helping Kyiv and recently used his sway to kill a US border reform bill that would have also authorised additional aid to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president called again on the US Congress to approve additional aid for Kyiv, saying that a failure to do so will cost Ukrainian lives.
