Trump Slams Zelensky's Peace Statement Amid Ukraine Conflict
Donald Trump criticizes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over remarks suggesting a distant end to the war with Russia.
In a strong response to President Zelensky's comments that a peace deal with Russia is not imminent, former President Donald Trump took to social media to express his discontent. Trump argued that Zelensky is obstructing peace efforts, asserting that "America will not put up with it for much longer." The remarks came after a significant summit in London, where European leaders developed a four-point plan to bolster Ukraine's defense amid ongoing hostilities.
During the summit, which took place just days after a tense meeting between the two leaders at the White House, Zelensky reiterated that achieving peace was still a far-off goal. While acknowledging the support from the US, he underscored the importance of unwavering partnerships, despite a rocky relationship with Trump.
Trump's response has been sharp, reiterating his view that Zelensky should express more gratitude for the financial assistance provided by the US throughout the war. During their Oval Office confrontation, both Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelensky for what they perceived as a lack of appreciation for American support.
Amid calls for peace, Trump emphasized that Zelensky's statements reflect a desire to prolong the conflict, declaring, “This is the worst statement that could have been made.” He vowed to provide an update on an unsigned minerals deal with Ukraine, signifying ongoing diplomatic efforts despite the tensions.
The London summit signified a collective European strategy to support Ukraine, as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French officials advocated for a "coalition of the willing" to potentially defend Ukraine, although specifics about military involvement remain unclear. Nordic countries have indicated readiness to discuss their participation in any such coalition, contingent upon US backing, signifying the complexities of international alliances amid the ongoing war.
