Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not negotiating with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, claiming that even the worst deal would be better than the current death and destruction. The comments were made at a campaign rally in North Carolina, where Trump said Ukraine would never be able to replace its dead towns and cities destroyed in the war. He accused Zelenskyy of making nasty remarks towards him, in response to an interview where Zelenskyy said Trump doesn’t know how to stop the war.
Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy marked his strongest yet, as he claimed that Zelenskyy should have made a deal, even if it was a bad one, to prevent the destruction Ukraine is facing. This comes as Zelenskyy urged world leaders to support his 2022 peace formula that demands the removal of all Russian forces from Ukraine. Trump has said he has a plan to end the war immediately but has yet to disclose specifics.
The Republican candidate’s comments have stirred controversy and highlighted the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Trump’s stance on the situation has raised questions about his approach to foreign policy, especially in dealing with international crises. As the presidential campaign heats up, Trump’s views on Ukraine and his plans for resolving the conflict are likely to face further scrutiny.
