Tensions rise between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the war in Ukraine, leading to public accusations and concerns about shifting US policy.
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in a public dispute over the war in Ukraine, with Zelenskyy accusing Trump of residing in a Russia n 'disinformation space' and Trump responding by labeling Zelenskyy a 'dictator'. The tension comes as retired general Keith Kellogg, the US envoy to Ukraine and Russia , met with Ukrainian officials to discuss the ongoing conflict.
Trump's criticism of Zelenskyy escalated rapidly, with the former president describing him as a 'modestly successful comedian' who had manipulated his predecessor, Joe Biden. He further criticized the substantial financial aid the US has provided to Ukraine, arguing for an immediate end to the war and claiming his sole ability to negotiate a peace deal. Trump's recent actions, including repeating Kremlin propaganda and proposing concessions to Russia, have raised alarm among Ukrainian officials and allies who fear a shift in US foreign policy towards Russia. Zelenskyy has asserted his unwavering stance against ceding territory to Russia and his refusal to accept any peace agreement that excludes Ukraine from negotiations.
