President Donald Trump said there was no need for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to take part in talks on ending the conflict with Russia, keeping up his attacks on the Ukrainian leader.

Trump told Fox News Radio that Zelenskiy had been in meetings for three years since Russia’s invasion in February, 2022 and so far had failed to end the conflict.
