(Adnkronos) – According to Donald Trump, Russia holds the cards in the negotiation for peace in Ukraine, said the American President Donald Trump aboard the plane that yesterday brought him back to Washington from Florida. The Russians, he added, “have taken control of a lot of territory, so they hold the cards.” Speaking of Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he had shortly before called a “dictator”, Trump declared: “he refuses to hold elections, he is doing badly in the polls in Ukraine. How can you be doing well with all the cities destroyed?”. (the most recent poll, by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, shows that 57 percent of Ukrainians say they trust Zelensky, ed.).
