Trump Says Zelenskyy, Not Putin, Is the Problem

On Jan. 14, in an interview in the White House, Reuters asked U.S. President Donald Trump who was stalling the negotiations on peace in Ukraine. Trump answered simply: “Zelenskyy.” Reuters pressed him further and elicited from Trump: “I just think he’s, you know, having a hard time getting there. I think [Russian President Vladimir Putin] is ready to make a deal.… I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.”
