Trump criticizes Zelenskyy and urges quick action amid U.S.-Russia peace talks

Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming he misled the U.S. into spending heavily on the war with Russia. Trump suggested that Zelenskyy is to blame for the ongoing conflict and accused him of failing to manage U.S. support effectively. High-level U.S. officials recently met with Russian representatives to discuss a potential peace deal, excluding Ukraine from the talks. Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept the terms of the deal, warning that he risks losing his country if he does not act quickly. Zelenskyy's approval rating remains around 60%, contrary to Trump's claim of just 4%. Despite the ongoing war, Ukrainians have indicated that holding elections is not a priority at this time.
