Zelensky in Copenhagen: My Job Is Not to Make Trump Happy, It Is to Bring Americans and Europeans to the Talks
Le Monde reported on November 11 that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking in Copenhagen on November 10 where he met Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, said: This may not sound very polite, but my job is not to make Trump happy. My task is to do everything possible to involve Americans and Europeans in the talks.
Zelensky spoke on the same day that U.S.-mediated trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States were under way in Abu Dhabi, where envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner took part in about four hours of talks at Emirates Palace that produced no tangible result on the first day.
At the same Copenhagen appearance, Zelensky's assessment of the talks themselves was not negative: he called them constructive and quite substantive and welcomed the U.S. inclusion of Europe, saying it was not simple to involve Europe. Other wire coverage of the appearance the same day recorded those remarks but did not repeat the line quoted by Le Monde.
