Vice President JD Vance scolded Volodymyr Zelensky to stop “badmouthing” President Trump on Wednesday after the Ukrainian leader accused his US counterpart of spreading disinformation — heightening an escalating spat following initial peace talks to end the three-year-old Russian invasion.
“The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president’s mind by badmouthing him in public media, everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration,
Vice President JD Vance said everyone who knows President Donald Trump would advice Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenksyy that badmouthing Trump in media is an “atrocious” way to deal with the administration.
Zelenksyy Wednesday triggered a war of words with the US administration amid Trump’s push to resolve the Russia-Ukraine crisis — as Zelenskyy said Trump is living in a disinformation space created by Russia. Trump Tuesday blamed Ukraine for the war and suggested that Zelenskyy’s popularity rating was as low as four per cent.
“Unfortunately, President Trump – I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us – unfortunately lives in this disinformation space,” Zelenskyy said.
Trump reacted to Zelenskyy’s attack sharply and called him a dictator without elections. In an all-out attack on Zelenskyy, Trump said Ukraine went into a war that couldn’t be won and Zelenskyy talked the US into spending billions of dollars in the war where the US has nothing to get back. “Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died
