Zelensky responds to Trump's claims as peace talks with Russia continue

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reacted to Donald Trump's claims that Ukraine started the war and could have ended it earlier. Zelensky accused Trump of being misled by Russian disinformation. Trump has intensified his criticism, labeling Zelensky a dictator and suggesting he is exploiting U.S. support. He also called for new elections in Ukraine, citing low approval ratings for Zelensky. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed interest in meeting Trump and discussing the conflict. U.S. and Russian officials continue peace talks regarding Ukraine, seemingly without direct involvement from Ukraine or European nations.
