Zelenskyy dealt with Trump during his first term as president, and the U.S. leader’s effort to coerce him into providing damaging information about Joe Biden led to a vote to impeach him.
But Zelenskyy was careful not to burn bridges with the mercurial Trump, even ensuring he addressed him as “Mr.,” not directly criticizing him and encouraging him to find out more about the war.
“I think if we are in dialogue how to finish the war we have to demonstrate to people who are decision-makers, what does it mean — the real war, not in Instagram,” Zelenskyy said.
In his appearance at the Munich conference, Zelenskyy again called for faster deliveries of artillery shells and long-range missiles.
Speaking of an “artificial deficit” in ammunition, Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian commanders had decided to retreat from the besieged city of Avdiivka in the face of relentless “meat wave” attacks by Russian forces.
He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces were suffering seven casualties for every Ukrainian death in Avdiivka, but even that death rate wasn’t stopping the attacks.
