Zelensky Responds To Trump

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky has blasted the United States for what he referred to helping Vladimir Putin to come out of isolation, warning that Donald Trump is living in a disinformation space created by Moscow.
Zelensky declared that his country is not for sale, disputing Trump's claims that the US has given Ukraine $500billion and adding that the suggestion that Kyiv pay this back with a mineral exploration deal is not a serious conversation.
"Look, we all want a victory, and we want Trump to win, and we want Ukraine to win, all of us to succeed," he said. "But there is nothing clear here... I am protecting Ukraine. I can't sell it away. I can't sell our state."
This comes after Trump appeared to blame Ukraine for Russia's invasion of the country three years ago, as he dismissed Zelensky's anger at being cut out of peace talks and criticised him for not making a deal to end the war sooner. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov praised the US leader for publicly and loudly blaming the conflict on moves to admit Kyiv into the NATO military alliance, saying that he is the first, and so far, in his opinion, the only Western leader to do so. Trump questioned Zelensky's legitimacy at a press conference in Mar-a-Lago, suggesting it had been too long since Ukraine had held elections for him to have a seat at the negotiating table.
Trump went on to claim that Zelensky is only supported by four per cent of Ukrainians.
Responding to these claims, Zelensky said that he never comments on popularity ratings, before adding that the latest poll shows 58 per cent of Ukrainians trust him.
