Donald Trump called the President of Ukrainian Volodimir Zelensky a “dictator” and warned that “it is better to move quickly or he will not remain a country” in deepening between Washington and Kiev.
The US president made a Ukrainian counterpart in his position on his social platform on Wednesday, a few hours after Zelensky accused Trump of “misinformation bubble” and challenged his $ 500 billion account for helping the country destroyed.
Bitter exchange takes place after Trump has stopped decades US policy, convene bilateral talks with Moscow on Ukraine’s war Without inviting Kiev and blame Zelensky in the Russian invasion of 2022.
The Strape, which, apparently, ended the most obvious threat, ended the war on the terms and favorable conditions for Moscow: “The dictator without elections, Zelensky is better to move, or he will not have a country.”
He added that Zelensky, whom he called “a modest successful comedian”, “talked in the United States to spend $ 350 billion to go to war that cannot be won.”
“This war for Europe is much more important than for us – we have a big, beautiful ocean like separation.. (Zeleanskyy) refuses to have elections, very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing it was good was to play (former US President Joe) Biden’s “Like Violin”, – Trump wrote.
Speaking in Kyiv earlier on Wednesday, Zelenskyy Trump blew up for pushed “a lot of misinformation coming from Russia.”
“Unfortunately, President Trump with all his respect to him as a leader of the nation, which we respect very much….. Live in this misinformation bubble,” he said.
On Tuesday, his comments were caused by Trump’s false statement that Kiev launched a conflict largest on European soil after World War II.
“You never had to start it,” said Trump, speaking after Washington and Moscow agreed in bilateral negotiations with “put the basis for future cooperation” to end the war. “You could make a deal.”
Zelensky also pushed away from Trump’s opinion that the elections should take place in Ukraine after the US president claimed that his Ukrainian colleague received only 4 percent.

It was unclear what Trump meant, but the Ukrainian president often said that large pieces of the promised assistance of the US slowly arrive in the country.
Earlier on Wednesday, Zelensky disputed Trump’s previous statements that Ukraine was borrowed from a rare $ 500 billion minerals and other resources for past military assistance.
“The United States has still made about $ 60 billion, with an additional $ 31.5 billion of financial aid,” he said. “It is $ 67 billion and $ 31.5 billion with direct budget support.”
Zelenskyy said Kyiv spent $ 320 billion on his military efforts against Russia.
US State Department’s data generally support the Zelensky figure for the US military support for Ukraine.
Putin said he “highly appreciates” on Wednesday when US-Russia’s conversations speak in Saudi, who, he said, “took the first step to resume work on all issues of mutual interest.”
“The US talks were completely different – they were open for the negotiating process without any prejudice and opinions about what was done in the past,” he added in his first public comments after the phone with Trump, which led to a meeting in the riyad. “They intend to work together.”
Putin said Russia would not “think” to the US-Europeans, but claimed that EU leaders “insulted” Trump during the election campaign and said that “they are guilty of what was happening.”
Putin said he would meet Trump “gladly”, but to the fact that any summit requires considerable preparation.
