Zelenskyy is advised to behave like Macron at his meeting with Trump

He expressed this opinion on the air of Espreso TV.

"Trump-Putin—I don't think anything will happen. It will be the same as Trump-Kim Jong Un. They may, of course, meet, but I have serious doubts that they will be able to agree on anything at all. It will be just like Trump-Kim Jong Un," he noted.

Igor Aizenberg also pointed out that during his meeting with Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron conducted himself with great dignity and advised Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to do the same.

"If I were to advise President Zelenskyy, I would suggest watching yesterday's press conference between President Macron and President Trump—the press conference itself—and also their responses to journalists' questions before the meeting. I would advise President Zelenskyy to behave as President Macron did in order to defend Ukraine's interests while avoiding sensitive topics that might irritate Trump. President Macron demonstrated this very clearly yesterday—so clearly that Trump was forced to interrupt the press conference at one point because it had essentially become a showcase for President Macron, who conducted himself with dignity and took a strong position. President Trump looked very weak in comparison. I wish President Zelenskyy success in doing the same," the professor advised.
