US secretary of state explained why Trump's call with Zelenskyy was shorter than call with Putin

The difference is with Putin you got to have these translators and it just takes forever back and forth. With Zelenskyy, he speaks fluent English, and they’re able to talk and communicate more directly and it moves a lot faster,

Rubio noted

We are part of Europe, and they have helped a lot,

Zelensky said

We’ll believe those words for today,

Zelensky said

He [Trump – ed.] understands that we are number one in the world or one of the first [in terms of drone technology],

Zelenskyy stressed

I don't think it was a matter of priority that he [Trump – ed.] talked to Russia first. Although it's really not very nice."
