President Donald Trump criticizes Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelensky as “an election-free dictator” the day after Zelensky complained that he had no seat in diplomatic talks between the US and Russia on Tuesday did.
Trump fell into Zelensky in a long, truthful social post, first noting that he was a “slack, successful comedian” rather than a president.
“Think about it. The modestly successful comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke to the United States of America to spend $350 billion and it had to start to enter a war that could not be won, but he The US and 'Trump', a war without him, can never be resolved,” Trump wrote.
Trump added that the US is spending more than tens of billions of people in the war than Europe has.
The US spends $200 billion more than Europe, and while European money is guaranteed, the US won't get anything back. Why did sleepy Joe Biden not demand equalization, we have a large, beautiful ocean as separation in that this war is far more important to Europe than we do.
He went on to write that Zesesky “rejected elections and was very low in Ukrainian polls.”
“Is Zelenskyy, the dictator who has no election, better move fast? He's not going to leave the country behind,” he added.
Trump added that his administration, which has been promoting peace in Europe and Saudi Arabia for the past week, is “well negotiating to end the war with Russia.”
“Biden never tried. Europe has failed to bring peace. Zelensky probably wants to continue with the 'gravy train'. I love Ukraine, but Zelensky does a terrible job, his country shattered and millions of people have died unnecessarily,” Trump concluded.

As New York Times Kyiv Bureau Chief Andrew Kramer Frame It was after the meeting, Zelensky “behind the Trump administration”:
“Decisions on how to end the war in Ukraine cannot be imposed without Ukraine, nor can they be imposed,” Zelensky said from Turkey, who traveled as part of a planning tour of the Middle East. “We weren't invited to this Russian-American conference in Saudi Arabia. It was a surprise to us, and I think so for many others.”
Rubio and Vice President JD Vance met with Zelensky in particular at the Munich Security Conference in Germany last week. Zelensky said the argument was “good.”
“We really want peace, but we need real security guarantees. And we will continue to meet and work. And we are very happy to see General Kellogg in Ukraine.” he added.
