Zelensky criticizes Trump for claims about Ukraine and war responsibility

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Donald Trump for blaming Ukraine for the war and suggesting low approval ratings for him. Zelensky stated Trump is "living in a disinformation space" created by Russia, emphasizing that Ukraine has evidence of false claims about his popularity. Trump's comments followed US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia, where Russian officials praised his stance. Zelensky noted that while he does not usually discuss popularity, one poll shows him at 58%. He also rejected any notion of trading Ukraine's resources for security guarantees. European leaders are responding to Trump's remarks, with Germany's foreign minister stating that only Putin wanted the war. French officials expressed confusion over Trump's logic while reaffirming support for Ukraine.
