Zelenskyy: ‘Trump Invited Me to His Inauguration ... It Was Simply Not Very Appropriate for Me to Come’

EXCERPT:

ZELENSKYY (via translator): “I would like to say that President Trump invited me to his inauguration, but he invited me in very general terms as maybe other leaders. I'm not aware whom he invited personally or in other manner, but I believe just that we need time to sit and speak about how to end the war, and we need time for that. And in this moment, in the inauguration moment, I think that he has his own issues on the agenda. That is maybe one of the most important days in his life, in the life of the American people, and I think that was simply not very appropriate for me to come. He wouldn't have time for personal meeting.”
