Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy slammed Donald Trump’s accusation overnight that Ukraine started its war with Russia. He said the American president is trapped in a “disinformation bubble.” He added that his country was not for sale.
Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort late Tuesday, Trump said he believed he had the power to end the war in Ukraine, but today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years.”
Zelenskyy and the EU weren’t invited to the initial meeting in Saudi Arabia with Russian officials.
“I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it’s going very well,” Trump said. “But today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort. “You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.”
Zelensky has said he wouldn’t give in on anything, including NATO membership and land concessions.
President Trump is likely thinking about Minsk 2. Russia waited seven years for Minsk 2 to be enacted. What Russia didn’t know was that Germany and France were lying about the deal. They admitted they lied to buy time to build a Ukrainian army. Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande later mocked Russia for failing it.
Minsk 2 would have given Donbas freedom, and Ukraine would have agreed not to join NATO for a third time.
While Russia waited, constant cross-border fighting continued.
Why Not Allow Elections?
President Trump added that his Ukrainian counterpart’s approval ratings sat at 4% in Ukraine — despite an opinion poll released Wednesday by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology showing that 57% of Ukrainians trust Zelenskyy. He appears to want Ukraine to hold elections.
Then elections shouldn’t be a problem. Let the UN run it.
“As we are talking about 4%, we have seen this disinformation; we understand it’s coming from Russia,” Zelenskyy told a news conference in Kyiv Wednesday as he dismissed Trump’s claim.
That’s to insinuate Trump gets his information from Russia.
Zelenskyy said Ukrainians would not support any concessions to Russia. It’s difficult to negotiate with unbending demands.
When he said the country isn’t for sale, it followed Trump saying he could pay for the $300 billion we gave him so far in minerals.
“The army is quite resilient, and it is the most resilient in Europe … and it guarantees us the opportunity to speak with dignity and on an equal footing with other partners — allies or non-allies,” Zelenskyy said.
He’s going to keep fighting.
One million people have died in this war, while our borders were flooded with unvetted people from around the world.

UK Prime Minister Starmer is sympathizing with Zelenskky, saying his is not an unelected dictator as President Trump has correctly stated. MSN is also doing the same thing and lying about President Trump. Well to hell with the UK and the other NATO moochers. If UK wants to continue the war, Starmer can send that country’s men and women to die in Ukraine. As far a lying MSN – it’s completely FAKE NEWS.
Only person that has been entrapped in this entire ordeal, is himself. He was the deep-states shill and patsy, nothing more than puppet on string. If he had half a brain, he would have fled long ago.
“He added that his country was not for sale”
Apparently it is seeing as how you’ve raked in billions, your wife gets U.S. taxpayer funded vacation trips…
Western sources of polling has shown Trump is correct maybe by a lesser margin.
Maybe we should just let Putin take over the whole of Ukraine,, you sorry bastard.

How easily you volunteer to enslave people to Russian communism. Did not they suffer enough under Stalin’s Russia. Moving Russia’s borders to include the entire Ukraine would not solve the root causes that led to this war. An independent Ukraine (sans Nazi’s) serves Russians buffer need.
Do a little more ‘thinking’ on what is written.
Trump has had enough of this twirp. He is a goner. Zelensky is just a Ukraine version of a Hollywood leftist homosexual comedian.
You make good points. Why add the slurs?
