MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian special presidential envoy for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev said on Sunday that the officials in the EU and the UK who support the conflict in Ukraine, appear to be panicking ahead of the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky.
On his Telegram channel, Dmitriev referenced Western media reports about some of the European leaders possibly going to escort Zelensky to the meeting with Trump, and commented by saying, "European and UK supporters of the conflict in Ukraine are in a panic."
Among the media that he referenced were Politico's report about Finnish President Alexander Stubb possibly going to accompany Zelensky at the talks with Trump, and Bild's report claiming that Zelensky's support group might include French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
