"First of all, I would like to say that President Trump invited me. However, the invitation was on general terms... I don't know which leaders he invited personally or in another way. But I believe we need time to sit down and discuss how to end the war. And at the inauguration, he had his own internal matters to attend to; it’s one of the most important days of his life. I think it would have been quite unacceptable for me to arrive. He wouldn’t have had time for a personal meeting," said Zelensky.
