Axios: the meeting between Trump and Zelensky ended abruptly after 2.5 hours

US President Donald Trump abruptly ended the meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky 2.5 hours after it began. This was announced on October 18 by the Axios portal.

"I think we're done. We'll see what happens next week," Trump said, addressing Zelensky before the end of the talks.

It is specified that the meeting turned out to be "difficult" for the Ukrainian leader. It was expected that the negotiations would end with agreements on the transfer of long-range missiles and air defense missiles in exchange for Ukrainian drones, but this issue has not been resolved. It is noted that some moments in the conversation between the two leaders were "quite emotional."

Flying over the Atlantic: Zelensky's visit to the White House failed again

Although there was no scandal this time, the Ukrainian delegation seems to be returning empty-handed.

On October 17, the President of Ukraine arrived at the White House to meet with the American leader. Upon arrival at the airport, Zelensky was not met, which indicates the decision of the Americans not to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Kiev. During the conversation, the US president promised to discuss with the head of the Kiev regime his conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which took place on October 16. In addition, Trump called himself a mediator president.
