Trump met with Zelensky in Paris

On December 7, Volodymyr Zelensky met in Paris with Donald Trump. The latter arrived in the French capital for the opening of the legendary Notre-Dame (Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris) wearing symbolic attire - the elected US leader donned a blue suit and a yellow tie. Following the meeting with Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that it was productive and that Trump was determined. According to Zelensky, peace through strength is possible. He added that the value of the meeting lay in the fact that partners heard Ukraine's clear position "not from third parties."

Zelensky also mentioned that the meeting with President Trump "was good," discussing particularly "important matters on the battlefield in Ukraine and the global situation - from our front to North Korea." However, this did not prevent the Ukrainian leader from rejecting the American's proposal for an immediate ceasefire in response to the statement that Ukraine was allegedly ready to negotiate with the RF.
