Donald Trump has slammed Ukraine’s leadership for not thanking him for his efforts to end the war with Russia.
The US President has accused Ukraine of having ‘zero gratitude’ in a post on his Truth Social profile.
He wrote: ‘UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA.’
‘I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED.’
He repeated his accusation that Vladimir Putin seized his chance to invade as ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden was in the White House.
It came as a widely leaked 28-point US-backed peace plan acquiesces to many Russian demands that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has categorically rejected on dozens of occasions, including giving up large pieces of territory.
Nevertheless, Trump says he wants Ukraine to accept the plan by late next week.
Zelensky says there is now an understanding that the US-proposed peace plan may take into account ‘a number of elements that are based on the Ukrainian vision and are critical to Ukraine’s national interests’.
He adds that further work is ongoing to ensure that ‘all elements are truly effective in achieving the main goal – to finally put an end to the bloodshed and war’.
