As rift between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky widens, Trump on Wednesday blasted Zelensky and Ukrainian leadership for not conducting election in the country amid Russia—Ukraine war describing him as ‘dictator without election’. This come shortly after the U.S left Ukraine out of initial peace talk with Russia this week. Mr. Trump who boasted his administration is successfully negotiating an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine stated that, Zelensky is only interested in monetary gains for little effort and he had better act fast else, there would be no country left.
“A dictator without election, Zelensky had better move fast or he is not going to have a country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something all admit only trump administration can do”, Trump was quoted. The U.S president also berated his predecessor Joe Biden as well as, European union having failed to restore peace between Russia and Ukraine.
“Sleepy Joe Biden never tried. Europe had failed to bring peace and Zelensky probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going. Trump added, “I love Ukraine but Zelensky has done a terrible job. His country is shattered and millions have unnecessarily died”, and so it continues.
The president who lamented that Zelenskyy had only succeeded in luring America into spending a whooping sum of 350 billion dollars to go into a war they will never win, a war they ought not to have started, but a war which can never settle without the U.S and Trump equally decried how the United States has spent 200 billion dollars more than Europe and, Europe’s money is guaranteed, Meanwhile, America gets nothing in return.
Similarly, Zelenskyy criticized Trump earlier for acting base on disinformation while addressing news men in Kyiv after canceling a trip to Saudi Arabia, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Special Envoy Ambassador Steve Witkoff held talks with Russian counterparts earlier this week centered on negotiating an end to the three-year conflict with Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, President Trump– I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us – unfortunately lives in this disinformation space,” Zelensky said.
