Trump criticizes Zelenskyy as US and Russia hold peace talks without Ukraine

Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a "dictator" and urging him to act quickly to save his country. This comes as US and Russian officials hold peace talks in Saudi Arabia without Ukraine's participation. Trump's remarks followed Zelenskyy's accusation that Trump is influenced by Russian disinformation. Trump claimed Zelenskyy has mismanaged US support and suggested that his leadership has led to unnecessary suffering in Ukraine. The absence of Ukraine from the ongoing talks has raised concerns among European leaders, prompting an emergency meeting earlier this week.
