Trump labels Ukraine's Zelenskyy a dictator as tensions rise over peace talks
Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a "dictator without elections" after the U.S. excluded Ukraine from recent peace talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia. Trump claimed Zelenskyy needs to act quickly to save his country and suggested that only he can negotiate peace. He expressed disappointment in Zelenskyy's leadership and the ongoing war's toll on Ukraine. This marks a significant shift in Trump's rhetoric towards Zelenskyy, contrasting with previous support for Ukraine amid the conflict.
