(ANSA) - BELGRADE, FEB 20 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "was elected and has always been supported by Americans, as well as by the Trump administration. I remember that it was the old Trump administration that brought Zelensky to Europe through the embassy in Brussels," said Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, a guest on 24 Mattino on Radio 24, in response to the US president's attack on Ukraine's leader. "I do not know why Trump used such harsh words," Tajani added. "He probably did not like Zelensky's reaction to the meeting between Americans and Russians in Saudi Arabia." But now, the deputy prime minister adds, we must move beyond verbal clashes and "work to achieve the goal of peace." (ANSA).
