About
Zelensky's 2019 Meeting With Trump refers to a viral video of a meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump back in 2019, which has resurfaced online amid the 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine. The most notable moment during the meeting was the grim look on Zelensky's face as Trump told him to "get together with Putin and solve the problem". Some people online suggested that the peculiar look on Zelensky's face foreshadowed the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“I really hope that you and President Putin can get together and solve your problem, that would be a tremendous achievement, and I know you're trying to do that”.
- Donald Trump

Poor #Zelenskyy – probably thought a meeting with a US president would be a little more productive & a little less intimidating
