President Trump Blasts Zelensky, Hurting Peace Negotiations


President Trump says peace talks over Ukraine are on the brink of failing.

And Zelensky’s is stubbornly making bad moves.

In Oval Office remarks, Trump said he was surprised the Ukrainian leader was harder to deal with than Russia.

He urged both sides to find common ground “for the sake of humanity.”

Meanwhile, Russian strikes on Kyiv continue to increase.

Afterward, Trump told Putin to hold off on the attack and get the deal done.

It seems like Zelensky is trying to undermine’s Trump ability to bring peace.

Breitbart reports:

Volodymyr Zelensky surprised the U.S. President by being the more difficult of the two principals to negotiate with in the Ukraine War talks, Donald Trump said, expressing hope for talks for the sake of the “humanity” of those being killed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his hope there is still a deal to be achieved to bring peace to the Ukraine War in Oval Office remarks that follow days of comments from key players that clearly suggest talks are on the brink of collapse. While Russia and Ukraine daily accuse each other of undermining the process, and overnight Russia has launched a major assault on Kyiv with at least eight dead in the air-raid, President Trump named Ukraine’s Zelensky for dragging his heels on peace.

On Tuesday, President Zelensky dismissed a compromise peace where Russia would be able to keep Crimea in return for handing back several Ukrainian provinces and ending the fighting, stating he was sticking to his maximalist absolute victory policy. Zelensky said, as reported: “There is nothing to talk about – it is our land, the land of the Ukrainian people”.

President Trump had already responded to these words in a social media post, reminding the Ukrainian that “Crimea was lost years ago” during the Obama era and that his remarks were “very harmful to the peace negotiations”. Following up in the Oval Office on Wednesday evening as he spoke with reporters while signing executive orders, the U.S. President remarked: “I will say I think that Russia is ready, and a lot of people said Russia wanted to go for the whole thing, I think we have a deal with Russia.

Then Trump calls out Putin for the recent strike:

What happened with Zelensky wanting “lasting peace” as he stated in his letter to Trump ?

Now he’s boasting of his stubbornness.
