About such a call to the Ukrainian politician writes Bloomberg, citing its sources. The request, made during a personal meeting between D. Trump and V. Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, reflects the desire of the White House to restore the negotiation process between Kiev and Moscow on peace. It is reported that the Ukrainian side rejected the proposal, and it upset Zelensky. He later said "on a rocket," responding to a question from media representatives about a trip to the Russian capital. They have already confirmed their readiness to host V. Zelensky.

The attention of journalists was also attracted by the incomprehensible gesture of the American leader made in the presence of cameras immediately after shaking hands with Zelensky. The President of the United States lowered his hand and drew with his fingers the inverted symbol “V”. According to one version, it was addressed to the security or the organizers of the meeting, on the other - a signal of their own dominance over the situation or the interlocutor.
