Trump labels Zelenskyy a dictator as US support for Ukraine shifts

Donald Trump has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a "dictator" and urging him to negotiate with Russia quickly. This marks a significant shift in U.S. support for Ukraine amid ongoing peace talks. Trump's comments come as U.S. and Russian officials held discussions in Saudi Arabia without Ukraine's participation. Zelenskyy responded by accusing Trump of spreading Russian disinformation and reaffirmed that Ukraine will not accept any peace deal made without its involvement. As tensions rise, Russia continues its military actions in Ukraine, including a recent drone strike on Odesa. Zelenskyy faces increasing pressure regarding potential elections, which are currently prohibited under martial law.
