President on Wednesday warned Ukrainian President that he 香蕉视频直播渂etter move fast香蕉视频直播 to negotiate an end to of Ukraine or risk not having a nation to lead.
The rhetoric from Trump toward Ukraine comes amid an escalating back-and-forth between the two presidents and rising tensions between Washington and much of Europe over to settling the biggest conflict on the continent since World War II.
Trump香蕉视频直播檚 harsh words for Zelenskyy drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans in the United States, where Ukraine香蕉视频直播檚 defense against Russian aggression has had bipartisan support. Zelenskyy said Trump was falling into a Russian disinformation trap 香蕉视频直播 and was quickly admonished by Vice President JD Vance about the perils of publicly criticizing the new president.
Trump, who is trying to bring the fighting to a close on terms that Kyiv says are too favorable to Moscow, used an extended social media post on his Truth Social platform to lash out at Zelenskyy and call the Ukrainian a 香蕉视频直播渄ictator without elections.香蕉视频直播
香蕉视频直播淭hink of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn香蕉视频直播檛 be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and 香蕉视频直播楾RUMP,香蕉视频直播 will never be able to settle,香蕉视频直播 Trump said of Zelenskyy, who was a popular television star in Ukraine before running for office.
The U.S. has obligated since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, according to the U.S. special inspector general, conducting oversight of American assistance to Ukraine.
Trump accused Zelenskyy of being 香蕉视频直播淎 Dictator without Elections !!香蕉视频直播 Due to the war, Ukraine did delay elections that were scheduled for April 2024.
He later repeated many of the criticisms of Zelenskyy, who he said has done a 香蕉视频直播渢errible job,香蕉视频直播 during an address before a meeting in Miami of business executives hosted by Saudi Arabia香蕉视频直播檚 sovereign wealth fund.
Trump also contended that Zelenskyy was misusing American aid intended for the war effort and had taken advantage of Democrat Joe Biden香蕉视频直播檚 administration.
The Republican president was riled by Zelenskyy香蕉视频直播檚 charge that Trump 香蕉视频直播渓ives in this disinformation space香蕉视频直播 fostered by Moscow. 香蕉视频直播淲e have seen this disinformation. We understand that it is coming from Russia,香蕉视频直播 Zelenskyy said.
Vance told that Zelenskyy香蕉视频直播檚 criticism of Trump was not helping his cause. 香蕉视频直播淭he idea that Zelenskyy is going to change the president香蕉视频直播檚 mind by bad mouthing him in public media, everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration,香蕉视频直播 Vance said.
Ukrainian officials, however, continue to raise their concerns about Trump香蕉视频直播檚 approach.
香蕉视频直播淲hy should dominance be handed over to a country that is an aggressor, a violator of international law, and the author of aggression against Ukraine?香蕉视频直播 said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelenskyy. 香蕉视频直播淲e still do not understand this strategy.香蕉视频直播
U.S. and Russian officials meeting in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday agreed to negotiate a settlement to an end to the war. Ukrainian and European officials were not included.
Trump said Zelenskyy should have worked out a deal earlier. 香蕉视频直播淶elenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,香蕉视频直播 Trump said.
香蕉视频直播淚n the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only 香蕉视频直播楾RUMP,香蕉视频直播 and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the 香蕉视频直播榞ravy train香蕉视频直播 going,香蕉视频直播 Trump wrote.
The rhetoric from Trump went even further than the false charges he made Tuesday against the Ukrainians when he suggested Kyiv was responsible for starting the war. Russia invaded its smaller neighbor.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York was appalled that Trump was blaming Ukraine for Russian President Vladimir Putin香蕉视频直播檚 invasion.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 disgusting to see an American president turn against one of our friends and openly side with a thug like Vladimir Putin,香蕉视频直播 Schumer said.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said he disagreed with Trump香蕉视频直播檚 suggestion that Ukraine was responsible.
香蕉视频直播淚 think Vladimir Putin started the war,香蕉视频直播 Kennedy said. 香蕉视频直播淚 also believe, from bitter experience, that Vladimir Putin is a gangster. He香蕉视频直播檚 a gangster with a black heart香蕉视频直播 who has Soviet dictator Josef Stalin香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渢aste for blood.香蕉视频直播
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Trump香蕉视频直播檚 words were insulting to the thousands of Ukrainians who have died in the war and he accused the president of parroting Putin. 香蕉视频直播淚 would call on President Trump to apologize to the people of Ukraine, but it would be a waste of breath,香蕉视频直播 Durbin said. 香蕉视频直播淒onald Trump is a pushover for Putin.香蕉视频直播
Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota is among the Republican lawmakers who have supported Ukraine over the course of the war. He said the Trump administration needed space as it seeks a resolution. 香蕉视频直播淭he president speaks for himself,香蕉视频直播 Thune said about Trump香蕉视频直播檚 sharpening rhetoric toward Zelenskyy. 香蕉视频直播淲hat I want to see is a peaceful result, a peaceful outcome.香蕉视频直播
The administration has also shown frustration with Zelenskyy for directing his ministers last week not to sign off on to give the United States access to The Ukrainians said the document was too focused on U.S. interests.
The proposal, a key part of Zelenskyy香蕉视频直播檚 talks with Vance on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, did not offer any specific security guarantees in return. Trump during his speech in Miami fumed about the Ukrainians walking away from an agreement. 香蕉视频直播淭hey broke that deal,香蕉视频直播 Trump charged.
Ukrainian officials met Wednesday in Kyiv with retired U.S. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump香蕉视频直播檚 special envoy to Ukraine and Russia.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 an egregious war in the sense of the length of time and casualties there and he understands the human suffering,香蕉视频直播 Kellogg said of Trump香蕉视频直播檚 thinking. 香蕉视频直播淗e understands the damage that we can see and we want to see an end to it.香蕉视频直播
