Details: The meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit lasted 45 minutes.

As reported by a European Pravda correspondent, the planned press briefing did not take place.

It is worth noting that the meeting between the American and Ukrainian leaders lasted significantly longer than scheduled.

Zelenskyy described the meeting with Trump as "long and substantive" on social media.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "We covered all the truly important issues. I thank Mr President, I thank the United States. We discussed how to achieve a ceasefire and a real peace. We spoke about how to protect our people.

We appreciate the attention and the readiness to help bring peace closer. Details will follow."

The meeting started shortly after the conclusion of the main NATO leaders’ session and the publication of the summit’s final declaration, which includes a commitment to support Ukraine’s Armed Forces through defence spending.

On Wednesday morning, Trump, commenting on the upcoming meeting with Zelenskyy, said that they would "discuss the obvious", after which he mentioned his conversations with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.

Good. As Trump does whatever he heard last, there is a good chance he might approve some aid before he talks to someone else and changes his mind.

Zelenskyy is a saint. Trump has got to be one of the most frustrating people to deal with on a political level.
