President Donald Trump has reinforced his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, labeling him a “dictator without elections” and suggesting that Ukraine is prolonging the war for continued U.S. financial aid. His remarks have sparked backlash both domestically and internationally.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended Zelenskyy, calling him a democratically elected leader. Within the U.S., some Republican lawmakers rejected Trump’s stance, emphasizing that Russia, not Ukraine, initiated the war.
Zelenskyy responded by accusing Trump of spreading Russian disinformation. Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations on Ukraine continue, raising concerns about Ukraine’s exclusion from key discussions.
