Zelensky Says Trump Siding With Russia Feels Like Betrayal

hani.co.kr (Korean) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized US President Donald Trump for appearing to side with Russia, expressing feelings of betrayal during an interview broadcast on October 14. He stated it is painful when Trump chooses the other side, though he acknowledged understanding Trump's transactional approach. Zelensky's comments came amid escalating tensions, including Ukraine's government reporting that SpaceX restricted Starlink internet speeds for its military, hindering drone operations. He also condemned Trump's recent decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel, which Zelensky called a "birthday gift" to Putin. The disputes follow Trump's repeated requests for Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian refineries to lower US fuel prices ahead of midterm elections. Trump responded to Zelensky's criticism by suggesting Ukraine needs new leadership, while Zelensky insisted Ukraine will not surrender its sovereignty.
