Zelenskyy criticizes Trump for claims of Ukraine's role in Russian invasion

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming he is trapped in a Russian "disinformation bubble." This follows Trump's comments suggesting Ukraine is responsible for Russia's invasion and questioning Zelenskyy's legitimacy. Zelenskyy defended his popularity, stating that a recent poll shows 57% of Ukrainians trust him. He rejected Trump's claims about U.S. aid misappropriation and emphasized the need for security guarantees from the U.S. amid ongoing conflict. Trump's remarks have drawn praise from Russian officials, who see them as a way to create division in Ukraine. Zelenskyy asserted that Ukraine is stronger now and is in discussions with European allies for military funding, independent of U.S. support.
