AsianFin -- U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, labeling him a "Dictator without Elections" and accusing him of misleading the United States.
In a post on social media platform X, Trump wrote: "A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left."
Trump also accused the Ukrainian president of playing Biden "like a fiddle," saying that Zelenskyy did a terribel job as president and the only thing he is good at is manipulating the Biden government.
This statement marks a significant departure from the policies of the Biden administration, which consistently supported Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's invasion.
In response to Trump's remarks, Zelenskyy said that the world must choose between supporting Putin or pursuing peace.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is also the owner of social media X, said in a post that Trump's instincts on Ukraine are "absolutely right," adding that "so many parents have lost their sons, and so many sons their fathers in this pointless war."
The Biden administration provided substantial military and economic assistance to Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of supporting a sovereign nation against an aggression. In contrast, Trump's rhetoric aligns more closely with Russian narratives, suggesting that Zelenskyy has misled the U.S.
