US president responds to Ukrainian president’s most recent interview, following blow-up in the Oval Office last week

The rift between Washington and Kyiv over a potential ceasefire in the war with Russia deepened on Monday as Donald Trump expressed new outrage at Volodymyr Zelenskyy for saying that the end of the war could be “very, very far away”.

In a post to social media on Monday, Trump posted a link to an Associated Press story outlining Zelenskyy’s comments and said: “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!

“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the US,” Trump continued.

    Oh look, he insinuated the quiet part out loud.

    His one-sided deal and shitshow of meeting was meant to anger Zelenskyy so they could create some pretense for siding against Ukraine. Since that failed, he’s just going to pivot to this as justification for joining the war on Daddy Vladdy’s side.
