Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said former President Donald Trump is welcome to visit Ukraine to see the war against Russia firsthand.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday invited former President Donald Trump to visit the war-torn nation. Appearing on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Zelenskyy made the invitation to Trump in response to the current GOP front-runner's promise to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours if reelected. 'I invite President Trump. If he can come here, I will need ... 24 minutes to explain to President Trump that he can't manage this war,' Zelenskyy said.
The Ukrainian president said he is not ready to begin that dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, remarking, 'We can’t trust terrorists because terrorists always come back.' Zelenskyy also suggested American soldiers could eventually be pulled into a wider European conflict if the United States does not bolster support for Ukraine, according to Reuters.
But House Republicans under new Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., passed their own spending proposal to fast-track $14.3 billion in aid for Israel but commit Ukraine aid as a separate matter. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., refuses to bring the bill for a vote in the upper chamber. Biden said he'd veto it. Asked if he feels defeated, Zelenskyy said he's 'feeling strong' and has a lot of energy but that 'doesn't mean we want to fight all of our lives.
