The president of the United States, Donald Trump, played a tense exchange of statements with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelenski, in the Oval office of the White House, where he told him he is unable to impose his conditions. “You don’t have a good hand in your favor right now,” said Trump for the media, sitting next to Zenski. “You play with the Third World War,” he maintained.
Zenski He said that he will never accept “a simple high heat” with Russia that does not include “security guarantees, because without it it will never work.”
