Espreso correspondent Tetyana Holunova reported this.

"His (Donald Trump’s) position is becoming more realistic. He’s realized that this issue can't be resolved in a day or even a few weeks," Merezhko said.

Merezhko pointed out that much depends on the meeting between Special Representative Keith Kellogg and President Zelenskyy's team. According to him, only after this meeting will there be any concrete developments.

"As of now, there's no such information. I don’t see Trump having a specific plan. There’s intent, but no clear mechanisms. Maybe that will come later," the MP added.

  • On February 11, Donald Trump announced that he would speak with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week and that Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, would be arriving in Ukraine soon.
