Zelensky criticizes Trump for aiding Putin's isolation exit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Donald Trump, claiming the former U.S. president has aided Vladimir Putin's return from isolation. Zelensky rejected Trump's assertion that Ukraine owes the U.S. $500 billion and emphasized that Ukraine is not for sale. Zelensky expressed concern over U.S.-Russia talks that excluded Ukraine, stating that any peace deal must involve Ukrainian input. He also highlighted a recent Russian attack on Odesa, which left many without power, as evidence of ongoing aggression. Trump, meanwhile, suggested that Ukraine is responsible for the war's continuation and expressed confidence in achieving peace. Zelensky countered that he would not accept any agreements made without Ukraine's involvement.
