Zelenskyy criticizes Trump for comments on Ukraine war as U.S.-Russia talks exclude Kyiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for spreading Russian disinformation regarding the war in Ukraine. This follows recent U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia that excluded Ukraine and its European allies, marking a shift in U.S. policy. Zelenskyy responded to Trump's comments blaming Ukraine for the war and suggesting elections should be held. He emphasized that Ukraine produces a significant portion of its military aid domestically and receives support from various sources, not just the U.S. U.S. special envoy Keith Kellogg arrived in Kyiv for discussions with Zelenskyy and military leaders. He acknowledged the importance of Ukraine's sovereignty and security guarantees amid concerns about the future of U.S. support and NATO membership for Ukraine.
