Trump labels Zelenskyy a dictator as tensions escalate over Ukraine war negotiations

Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a "dictator without elections." This remark followed Zelenskyy's claim that Trump was swayed by Russian disinformation regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump's comments came after Zelenskyy accused him of pursuing terms that favor Russia. He highlighted the significant U.S. financial support for Ukraine, stating that Zelenskyy could not resolve the conflict without U.S. assistance. Ukraine has postponed elections originally set for April 2024 due to the ongoing war with Russia, which began in February 2022.
