Trump calls Zelenskyy a dictator and criticizes his leadership in social media post

Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a social media post, calling him a "dictator" and claiming he is "doing a terrible job." This marks a significant shift in Trump's tone towards Ukraine since taking office. Trump's comments come as his envoy, Keith Kellogg, visits Kyiv for talks. Zelenskyy responded by accusing Trump of spreading Russian disinformation. The relationship between the two leaders has worsened amid Trump's recent foreign policy changes favoring Russia. In recent weeks, Trump has suggested major concessions to Russia, including cutting aid to Ukraine and denying its NATO membership bid. Zelenskyy insists that any peace negotiations must include Ukraine's participation.
