MAIL ONLINE: Donald Trump has launched an eviscerating attack on Volodymyr Zelensky, calling the Ukrainian leader 'a modestly successful comedian' and 'a dictator without elections'.
The extraordinary outburst came after Zelensky accused the US President of falling for Russian fake news, with Trump suggesting yesterday that Ukraine was to blame for Moscow's illegal invasion of the country three years ago.
Zelensky also declared that his country is not for sale, criticising Trump's suggestion that Kyiv pay Washington back for the aid it has received with a mineral exploration deal worth $500bn and saying it was 'not a serious conversation.'
Writing on his platform Truth Social, Trump shared a lengthy tirade, condemning both Zelensky and the billions in aid the Biden administration had given Ukraine during Russia's bloody war on the country. » | Elena Salvoni | Wednesday, February 19, 2025
