Former President Donald Trump has reportedly declined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's offer to visit Ukraine over concerns that it could "create a conflict of interest" with President Joe Biden.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that his negotiation skills would successfully put an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war within "24 hours." Zelensky has expressed skepticism about the claim on more than one occasion, while also arguing that the former president had done little to quell Ukrainian-Russian tensions during his time in the White House.
