Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling his handling of the war with Russia a “terrible job” and accusing him of starting the conflict. In a press conference, Trump suggested Zelensky could have ended the war earlier, questioning his absence from peace talks in Saudi Arabia. Trump’s remarks followed a social media post in which he called Zelensky a “dictator without elections.” The U.S. continues to engage in peace negotiations, with Ukraine's exclusion from discussions raising tensions, though U.S. officials have assured Ukraine’s involvement in future decisions.
