During the meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine, Russia was shown "huge disrespect," U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with CBS.

He stressed that there is "huge hatred" between Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.

"During their first meeting, Russia was shown huge disrespect," Trump said, without going into details.

• The first and only meeting between Putin and Zelensky took place in December 2019 in Paris as part of the "Normandy format" summit. The meeting lasted over an hour, attended by delegations, and according to the Elysee Palace press service, the two leaders had a one-on-one conversation for 5-10 minutes afterwards.
