"Zelensky sat down for an interview with Baier on a momentous day that saw President Donald Trump deliver a contentious speech at the United Nations general assembly, voice support for NATO countries shooting down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace, and post a statement that represented a shocking reversal of his past comments on the war in Ukraine, calling Russia a paper tiger and saying that he believed Ukraine should be able to get all of their land back from Russia."
"Zelensky replied that Trump had tried to keep the diplomatic possibility of negotiations open and pushed for a trilateral meeting between us, but Putin, as always, I think he uses the situation used, I'm sorry he just used this situation, mentioning the photo ops Putin had been able to get from the meeting that made him look tough and unshakeable for his audience back in Russia."
Vladimir Putin avoids meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky because he fears the consequences of such a meeting and opts to continue the war. Russian military strikes and drone attacks against Ukraine, including targeting civilians, increased significantly after Putin's Alaska meeting with Donald Trump. Donald Trump delivered a contentious United Nations speech, urged NATO members to shoot down Russian aircraft violating airspace, and reversed prior comments by calling Russia a "paper tiger" while endorsing Ukraine reclaiming territory. Diplomatic efforts toward trilateral negotiations were promoted but undermined by Putin leveraging photo opportunities and perceiving insufficient pressure to negotiate.
