However, it is even more horrifying that at a press conference in the Oval office, Trump evaded a direct answer to the question of whether he considers Ukraine an equal partner in negotiations.

Journalists recalled that London published an official statement in which he emphasized in restrained wording on the inadmissibility of negotiations with the Kremlin bypassing Ukraine.

We will remind, on February 12 Donald Trump had a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin. On the same day, but later Trump spoke with the phone with Vladimir Zelensky.
