“For the first time personally (addressed. - RT ), not by telephone to President Trump, so that he would join in the solution of all our problems, to end the war and return our territories. But not so that now, when we are waiting for the meeting in the Norman format, so that he joins, ”UNIAN points out Zelensky.

He added that if the meeting in the Norman format would be ineffective, then the Ukrainian side would attract other countries and not only the United States.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the Ukrainian authorities should take concrete steps to implement the Minsk agreements for the successful holding of the summit in the Norman format.

Foreign Minister of Ukraine Vadim Pristayko said that a meeting of leaders of states in the Norman format could be held in mid-October.
