Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski responded to Kiev’s criticism by Donald Trump, saying that his American counterpart “lives in misleading information” established by Russia.
On Tuesday, President Trump blamed Ukraine for the war and suggested that the classification of the popularity of the Ukrainian leader was low to 4 %. Trump was speaking after the US talks in Russia in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that left Ukraine.
In his first comments after the talks, Vladimir Putin said that he had classified the talks in Riyadh “very” and that Trump told him that Ukraine would be part of any future conversations.
Zelinski said that America had the right to discuss bilateral issues, but the United States helped Putin “get out of years of isolation.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who participated in the talks, praised President Trump by accepting Moscow’s repeated claim that “one of the radical reasons” of the war is “Biden’s criticism” of Gyania to NATO.
Trump’s Ukraine envoy, Keith Keel, arrived in Kiev on Wednesday on the mission of “sitting and listening” to the position of Ukraine. Kelog was not part of the American team that met Russian officials in Riyadh.
After nearly three years of Russia’s launch, it has been widely invaded for Ukraine, European countries were scrambling to respond to the developments of this week.
French President Emmanuel Macron was in unofficial talks on Ukraine on Wednesday with leaders of a number of European states and Canada.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Zelinski accused Russia of lying during the “famous meeting” on Tuesday in the Saudi capital, where the United States and Russia agreed to start negotiating the end of the war.
“With all the due respect of President Donald Trump as a leader … he lives in this field of misinformation,” he said.
He added that Ukraine has “evidence” that Russia is publishing misleading information about the classification of its approval, and “these numbers are discussed between America and Russia.”
Zelensky has won for five years in 2019, and I remained in office because the elections have been suspended since the declaration of martial law after Russia has widely invaded.
When asked about the allegations offered by his popularity, Zellinski said that although he had never commented on popular classifications, the poll had reached 58 %.
He said he wanted Trump’s Ukraine envoy, “walking in the streets of Kiev” and “see everything for himself.”
Zelensky also explained that he will not sell his country for future security guarantees that gave the United States a large stake in mineral resources in Ukraine.
He said that the war has so far cost 320 billion dollars (254 billion pounds), about 200 billion dollars (159 billion pounds), of which it came from the United States and the European Union.
He said that the United States claimed that 90 % of Ukraine’s support came from it, and while it was grateful for American support, the truth is elsewhere.
In a later post on X, he wrote: “We must never forget that Russia is governed by sick liars – they cannot be trusted and must be pressured.”
On Tuesday, Trump spoke to reporters at his residence in Mar Lago. “I hear that they are upset with the absence of a seat,” he said.
“Well, they had a three -year seat and a long time ago. This could have been very easily.
European allies have also begun to evaluate Trump’s comments.
“No one, but Putin started or wanted this war in the heart of Europe,” said German Foreign Minister Analina Bayerbuk. “We are at an existential road for security and peace in Europe.”
“We are fighting to understand the American logic,” said French government spokeswoman Sophie Premas.
On Monday, the leaders of many European member states in NATO gathered in Paris to talk about what can be done to help Ukraine.
One of the proposed ideas was to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine, although Sergey Lavrov refused this as unacceptable.
Trump, on the other hand, described it as “wonderful”, saying that everything was for him if this was what they wanted to do, but the American forces would not be deployed because the United States was “very far away.”
