Trump labels Zelenskyy a dictator as tensions escalate over Ukraine war

Donald Trump has labeled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator without elections.” This comment follows Zelenskyy's accusation that Trump is influenced by Russian disinformation regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for allegedly convincing the U.S. to spend $350 billion on a war he believes is unwinnable. He emphasized that Zelenskyy cannot resolve the conflict without U.S. support. Ukraine has postponed elections originally set for April 2024 due to Russia's invasion. Zelenskyy previously accused Trump of operating within a “disinformation space” created by Russia.
