Trump-Zelenskyy Feud Deepens
President Donald Trump’s annoyance with Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelenskyy has seemingly worsened after the two recently engaged in a heated debate over the Ukraine-Russia war.
President Zelenskyy reportedly stated the end of the Ukraine-Russia war is “still very, very far away,” inciting President Trump’s immediate rebukes.
“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer,” said Trump.
Trump, who has repeatedly stated he intends to end the Russia-Ukraine war, claimed Zelenskyy’s attitude is misplaced and will frustrate a potential end to the war.
“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be peace as long as he has America’s backing,” continued Trump.
