Zelensky answers with irony when asked if Trump is making him a scapegoat for the Iran war

adevarul.ro (Romanian) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded ironically when asked if Donald Trump is making him a scapegoat for the Iran war, smiling for 15 seconds before telling journalists "That is my answer." The exchange follows deteriorating Kyiv-Washington relations, with Trump pressuring Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil facilities and criticizing Zelensky, saying "They destroyed that country" without referencing the Russian invasion. Ukraine suspended attacks for three days but resumed after Russia violated the energy ceasefire. Zelensky emphasized European support ahead of Friday's Brussels summit, while Ukraine faces Patriot interceptor shortages as supplies shift to the Middle East. EU leaders announced a 22nd sanctions package against Russia, contrasting with Trump's diesel export deal that Zelensky called a betrayal.
