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 persuading the U.S. to spend $350 billion on a war he claims was unwinnable. He suggested that without U.S. support, Zelenskyy would struggle to resolve the conflict. Zelenskyy has postponed elections in Ukraine, originally set for April 2024, due to Russia's invasion in February 2022.
