Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had achieved a “personal victory” by being invited to talks with Donald Trump on American soil.

He also said that the meeting had further delayed the imposition of sanctions against Moscow, AFP reported.

“First, he will meet on US soil, which I consider his personal victory. Second, he is coming out of isolation because he is meeting on US soil. Third, with this meeting he has somehow postponed the sanctions,” Zelensky said. | BGNES
