The WSJ reported on the failure of Zelensky's attempt to win Trump over to his side

An attempt by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to win over American leader Donald Trump in the conflict with Russia has failed. This was reported by the WSJ newspaper on May 21.

"Zelensky agreed to an unconditional cease—fire proposed by the US leader, signed a mineral deal <...> and flew to Turkey for negotiations," the publication says.

According to the newspaper, Zelensky has been urging Trump to put pressure on Russia for three months, but to no avail, and during the three months of the American leader's rule, the Ukrainian president has achieved nothing.

Trump, in turn, chose a soft line of interaction with Russia and a hard line with Ukraine, he adds "Газета.Ru ".
