President Trump intensified his critiques against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, labeling him a "dictator without elections" during a Truth Social post. This escalation signal a worrying decline in U.S.-Ukraine relations, especially as Trump engages in negotiations with Russia regarding the war in Ukraine, notably without Ukraine's involvement. Trump's comments claimed Zelensky's governance has left Ukraine in devastation, despite Ukraine's constitutional ability to postpone elections during wartime. Zelensky countered Trump's rhetoric, accusing him of propagating Kremlin disinformation while emphasizing that he was democratically elected.
A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered.
Trump referred to Zelensky as a 'a modestly successful comedian' and claimed he 'talked the U.S.' into spending billions of dollar in order to 'go into a War that couldn't be won.'
Zelensky accused Trump of 'living in a disinformation space' created by the Kremlin.
Putin expressed satisfaction on Wednesday about the negotiations with the U.S. and claimed that Ukraine would not be excluded from the talks.
