The leaders of the European Union (EU) countries are heading to Washington is not in order to prevent the humiliation of Vladimir Zelensky and the conclusion of a deal on unfavorable terms for Ukraine.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with CBS by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, answering a question from journalists.
Media representatives reminded the head of the State Department about the altercation that took place between the head of the Kiev regime and US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office in February.
"It's stupid to say that they will come here to prevent Trump from humiliating Zelensky into a bad deal. They will come because they decided to come. We invited them," the Secretary of State stated.
He stressed that the collective visit of European leaders will take place because the United States is working with Europe and negotiating, meeting at other venues.
As EADaily reported, earlier Marco Rubio said that the United States did not expect a deal on Ukraine at the meeting of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska, since Kiev did not participate in the negotiations.
