After the president's post on Truth Social yesterday, I need to know—who does he think is more responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Putin or Zelensky?"
So many people in Washington that were just demanding, pounding the table for a ceasefire in Gaza are suddenly aghast that the president would demand one and both sides come to the table when it comes to Ukraine—a war that has been arguably far greater in scope and scale and far more dangerous in terms of global escalation to U.S. security,
Rather than enter into some constructive conversations about what that deal should be going forward, we got a lot of rhetoric in the media that was incredibly unfortunate,
We have seen this disinformation, we understand that it is coming from Russia ... [Trump] lives in this disinformation space."
Zelensky, referring to Trump's comments, told reporters There needs to be a deep appreciation for what the American people, what the American taxpayer, what President Trump did in his first term and what we've done since. So some of the rhetoric coming out of Kyiv, frankly, and insults to President Trump were unacceptable."
I have no doubt it would not have happened under President Trump,
Strong Ukraine-U.S. relations benefit the entire world,
His goal is to bring this war to an end, period,
Waltz said of Trump, when asked by reporters at a White House press briefing to say which nation was responsible for starting the war I spoke with U.S. Senator @LindseyGrahamSC. We greatly appreciate the bicameral and bipartisan support of the US Congress to the Ukrainian people in our fight against the Russian aggression. As always, Senator Graham is constructive and doing a lot to help bring peace closer. It's all-important that security guarantees remain on the table—and that they work for Ukraine, for real and lasting peace. Thank you for your support."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never, ... This is the war in Ukraine, against us, and it's our human losses."
Zelensky told NBC News' Kristen Welker on Meet the Press last week ... adding, We have a situation where we haven't had elections in Ukraine, where we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I hate to say it, but he's down at 4 percent approval rating, and where a country has been blown to smithereens."
On a recent broadcast, Solovyov played a clip of Trump's press conference, in which the president said So, Ukraine has to have elections if it wants to sit at the negotiating table. That's it. Zelensky has nowhere to run. Trump reacted. He said that he is outdated and unpopular. Let me add from myself, he's also very, very weak. He is worthless, to put it correctly, he's worthless,
The phrases he is saying are so deep and so correct. They are in total alignment with the way we see things. Of course, the cherry on the cake, an absolute cherry on the cake is this phrase—"
Solovyov said in reaction to Trump's comments, according to an English translation from the watchdog project Russian Media Monitor When they want a seat at the table...wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say like, 'You know, it's been a long time since we've had an election.'
He then played a video of Trump saying at Tuesday's press conference I am surprised by the restraint of newly elected U.S. President Trump towards his allies, who behaved, frankly speaking, in a boorish manner. He still behaves quite courteously toward them,
I told [Ukraine] that I want the equivalent of, like, $500bn worth of rare earth, and they’ve essentially agreed to do that,
Trump told Fox reporter Bret Baier The proposals of Ukrainians about the ‘exchange of territories’ are nonsense, the only way to heal is to ‘feel like Russians again’, Dmitry Medvedev wrote in his Telegram channel,
said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova But one cannot count up to $500bn and say, ‘Give us back $500bn in minerals.’ That’s not a serious discussion,
Zelenskyy said on Wednesday Peace will only come through strength,
said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock We see in America a president who admires autocratic systems,
said Germany’s next chancellor-presumptive, Friedrich Merz, and a “vice president who tells us how to run our democracy”.
