Zelensky Accuses Trump of Russian Disinformation Amidst Diplomatic Tensions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of falling for Russian disinformation, particularly after Trump suggested Ukraine was responsible for the conflict initiated by Russia in 2022. Zelensky countered Trump's claims of his low approval rating, asserting that a recent poll shows 57% of Ukrainians support his leadership. He expressed disappointment over the U.S. administration's approach to Russia, indicating that recent talks in Saudi Arabia excluded Ukraine, which he believes undermines their position in the conflict. Zelensky's comments reflect growing tensions between Kyiv and the current U.S. government, as he criticized the notion that Ukraine should bear the blame for the war. Meanwhile, Trump's envoy, Keith Kellogg, visited Ukraine to discuss concerns but faced skepticism over the U.S.'s handling of the situation. The ongoing situation has raised alarms in Ukraine about potential concessions being demanded by the U.S. to appease Russia.
