In a series of recent statements, former President Donald Trump has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming that Ukraine is 'dead' and dismissing its efforts to defend against Russia's invasion. Trump has suggested that Zelenskyy is more interested in supporting the Democrats in the upcoming 2024 election than in striking a deal to end the war. He described Zelenskyy as 'the greatest salesman in history' and accused him of wanting Vice President Kamala Harris to win the presidency. In his rhetoric, Trump has also praised Russia's military history, arguing that the U.S. should re-evaluate its aid to Ukraine. He has pledged to withdraw U.S. involvement in the conflict if re-elected, asserting that he would handle the situation differently than the current administration. As tensions rise, Zelenskyy continues to appeal for unity from Western allies, while Trump remains focused on his electoral ambitions.
