Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invited former President Donald Trump to Ukraine on Sunday to see the scale of the war for himself, but Trump respectfully declined in a statement to Newsmax.
"I have great respect for President Zelenskyy, but think it would be inappropriate to go to Ukraine at this time," Trump wrote in a statement responding to Zelenskyy's invite made on NBC's "Meet the Press." "The Biden administration is currently dealing with him, and I would not want to create a conflict of interest."
"Former President Trump said that about 24 hours, that he can manage it and finish the war," Zelenskyy told NBC. "For me, what can I say? So he's very welcome as well. President Biden was here, and he – I think he understood some details which you can understand only being here. Diplomacy with Russia's Vladimir Putin is impossible, despite Trump's claim to the contrary, Zelenskyy continued.
"If Russia will kill all of us, they will attack NATO countries and you will send your sons and daughters ," Zelenskyy said told NBC.
