Trump: Putin refuses to meet Zelenskyy because he ‘does not like him’

US President Donald Trump on Monday said Russian President Vladimir Putin did not want to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy because he “does not like him.”

“Because he [Putin’ does not like him [Zelenskyy]. He does not like him. I have people I do not like. I do not like meeting with them”, Trump said.

He added that Zelenskyy also did not like Putin.

According to Trump, he initially believed ending the war between Russia and Ukraine would be the easiest conflict to resolve, but it turned out to involve “a massive personal conflict.”

“I thought stopping the war between Russia and Ukraine would be the easiest thing to do, but it turns out there are major personal conflicts involved. Still, we will bring it to an end over time”, the US President added.
