In a post on Truth Social, the US president said Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace as long as he has backing of America and Europe
Trump said this is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer.
Days after he engaged in a spat with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at White House, US President Donald Trump on Monday condemned the Ukraine president’s remark that a deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away". Trump said this is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer.
In a post on Truth Social, the US president said Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace as long as he has backing of America and Europe.
“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?" Trump wrote.
Zelenskyy said a deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away, and added that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with US President Donald Trump.
“I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship," Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington’s support for the past three years of war.
“I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America" to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.
Zelenskyy publicly was upbeat despite recent diplomatic upheaval between Western countries that have been helping Ukraine with military hardware and financial aid. The turn of events is unwelcome for Ukraine, whose understrength army is having a hard time keep bigger Russian forces at bay.
The Ukrainian leader was in London to attend U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s effort to rally his European counterparts around continuing — and likely much increased — support for Ukraine from the continent amid political uncertainty in the U.S., and Trump’s overtures toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.
