On one hand, America is providing arm after arm to Ukraine, on the other hand, Trump himself has deflated the supporters of Ukraine.
Former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump has strongly criticized Zelensky and the Biden administration over the Russia-Ukraine war. He described the situation in Ukraine as hopeless and said that people have died and the country has been destroyed.
Trump accused Ukrainian President Zelensky of refusing to make a deal to end the war with Russia. The Republican candidate in the White House race said during a campaign rally in North Carolina, "We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal."
Trump launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Zelensky, calling him the biggest salesman. Trump said that every time he comes to our country, he takes away $60 billion. Trump described Ukraine as a country in ruins outside the capital Kiev and said that it lacks soldiers and the population is decreasing due to war deaths and neighboring countries. He questioned whether Ukraine had any bargaining chip left to end the war.
Questions were also raised on the funding of Ukraine.
Trump targeted Zelensky as well as those helping Ukraine. He said that any deal we have, even if it is the worst deal, would have been better than this situation. He said that if Ukraine had sacrificed a little, everyone would have been alive today and every building would have been saved. Questioning the current situation, Trump said what deal can we make? Ukraine has collapsed and people have died. Trump has been constantly questioning the US funding to Ukraine and has claimed that if he becomes president, he can stop the war within 24 hours.
Zelensky calls the Republican proposal radical.
Ukrainian President Zelensky is on a US tour. Addressing the UNGA, he said that Russian President Putin cannot be persuaded for peace through talks alone. Zelensky said that only by empowering Ukraine can Putin be forced to end the war.
Before speaking at the UNGA, Zelensky had launched a major attack on Republican candidate Donald Trump and his VP candidate JD Vance. Zelensky had said that Vance's proposal was radical and that he wanted Ukraine to surrender the Russian-controlled areas. Zelensky targeted Trump and said that Trump does not really know how to stop the war, even if he thinks he knows.
In fact, Zelensky met President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and presented the 'Victory Plan' to them. During this, Kamala Harris also described the Trump campaign's proposal as a surrender.
Meanwhile, Republican candidate Donald Trump informed on Thursday that Ukrainian President Zelensky had requested to meet him and he is going to meet him at Trump Tower on Friday (September 27).
Former US President Donald Trump has been claiming for a long time that he can stop the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. Trump had said that if he were the president, this war would never have started. Not only this, he has been criticizing the US funding to Ukraine for the past several months. Trump says that he is confident that he can stop the Russia-Ukraine war.
