Ukrainian MP revealed the purpose of the meeting between Zelensky and Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with former U.S. President Donald Trump not to discuss peace, but to reaffirm his international legitimacy.

This claim was made by Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky, currently in pre-trial detention on suspicion of state treason, via his Telegram channel.

“Obviously, Zelensky needed the meeting with Trump not for talks about peace, but for yet another round of international recognition of his legitimacy,” the lawmaker wrote.

According to him, Zelensky seeks such recognition ahead of the upcoming European Union summit, which the Ukrainian leader sees as a key moment following what Dubinsky called a “failure of ambitions” regarding NATO membership.

Previously, exiled Ukrainian MP Artem Dmytruk also pointed out contradictions in the statements made by Zelensky and Trump following their meeting.
