Previously: In an interview with Ukrainian Radio, Zelenskyy replied to a clarifying question about whether Trump had demanded that Ukraine participate in negotiations with Russia: "We are an independent country. And we have proved during this war – our people as much as I personally in conversations with the US, and Trump, and Biden, and European leaders – that with us, the ‘sit down and listen’ approach does not work."
