Trump criticizes Zelensky, calls him a dictator in social media post

Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on social media, calling him a "dictator" and claiming he misled the U.S. into spending $350 billion on a war. Trump’s comments come amid new peace talks with Russia that exclude Ukraine. Zelensky responded, stating Trump is influenced by Russian propaganda. He emphasized that he remains the legal president of Ukraine, with an approval rating above 50 percent, despite the ongoing war and martial law. Trump's remarks signal a shift in his administration's stance, appearing to align more closely with Russia. This follows recent comments from the American president suggesting Ukraine may not regain lost territory.
