Details: When asked about his opinion on Trump, Zelenskyy said that "we have to work with the new president" of the United States in order to "have the biggest supporter".
"I want to work with him directly because there are different voices from people around him. And that's why we need not to [allow] anybody around to destroy our communication," the Ukrainian president added.
Zelenskyy said he wanted to share his ideas with Trump and to hear him out in turn.
Zelenskyy noted that he had already met with the then-US presidential candidate in New York, and their conversation "was very warm, good, constructive".
"It was a very good meeting and it was an important first step – now we have to prepare some meetings," he said.
Background:
