Media: The US has a completely different reception for Putin and Zelenskyy
According to the UK's Daily Telegraph, the United States has a completely different reception for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Putin was welcomed with a red carpet, and US President Donald Trump personally waited for him, while Zelenskyy had no American officials waiting for him.
Previously, the website "News Live" released video footage showing Zelenskyy greeting Ukrainian representatives and crew members after landing in Florida. In addition to them, only airport staff and Zelenskyy's bodyguards were seen on the runway, but there was no honor guard, nor any official representative from the US presidential administration.
The report stated: "When Putin arrived in the US in August, he was given a grand welcome ceremony, and Trump was waiting for him at the end of the red carpet in Alaska. However, when Zelenskyy arrived in Florida over the weekend, there was no red carpet, nor any reception."
The newspaper speculated that this difference, as well as the "fragility of US-Ukrainian relations" it symbolizes, would not be overlooked by either Putin or Zelenskyy.
On Sunday, Zelenskyy met with Trump in Florida. The US president said that Europe would bear the main part of Ukraine's security, but the US would definitely provide assistance. After the meeting, Zelenskyy said that the security arrangements between the US and Ukraine had been 100% agreed upon. After the bilateral talks, Trump and Zelenskyy had a phone call with European leaders. According to Trump, he had a pleasant and very productive phone conversation with Russian President Putin before meeting Zelenskyy. The Telegraph noted that the US has a completely different reception for Putin and Zelenskyy.
