Trump singles out Zelenskyy: He should make a choice
Although the meeting with Putin did not result in anything, this does not prevent Trump from continuing to pressure Zelenskyy.
After the Putin-Trump meeting, Trump mentioned Zelenskyy during an interview. In short, Trump probably expressed the following points: he reached "agreement on many aspects" with Putin in the meeting, and now the responsibility to achieve a ceasefire lies with Zelenskyy, "depending on whether Zelenskyy can implement it," and Zelenskyy should hold a meeting with Putin as soon as possible.
The latest news is that Zelenskyy has already called Trump about the situation of the Putin-Trump meeting, but the US and Ukraine have not yet disclosed the results of the call.
However, one thing is certain: the meeting between Trump and Putin did not result in any public and substantial consensus, so what Trump said about Zelenskyy "should make a choice" and "whether he can implement it" is purely empty pressure.
Certainly, considering Trump's previous statement about "land for peace," his pressure on Zelenskyy is likely to require Zelenskyy to make concessions on territorial issues — but it is obvious that Zelenskyy will not accept Trump's demands without reason, and the tussle and game among the three parties of the US, Ukraine, and Russia has not ended yet.
