Details: Zelenskyy also said that during the meeting, Trump raised the issue that Ukraine should respond to Russian strikes. “If they [the Russians] attack our energy, President Trump supports that we can answer on energy,” the Ukrainian leader said.

Trump made similar comments regarding Russian drone production facilities or missile sites, even though they are well-protected, Zelenskyy noted.

In the interview, Zelenskyy also alluded to the fact that Kremlin officials should know the locations of their bomb shelters. “They have to know where the bomb shelters are. They need it. If they will not stop the war, they will need it in any case,” Zelenskyy stated.
