U.S. President Donald J. Trump has publicly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stating that he is “not ready for peace” if American involvement continues in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
In a statement posted on social media, Trump described his recent meeting at the White House as “very meaningful,” noting that key insights emerged under pressure. He asserted that Zelenskyy perceives U.S. involvement as a strategic advantage in negotiations rather than a path to peace.
“I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE,” Trump stated, adding that Zelenskyy had “disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office.” He further suggested that the Ukrainian leader could return for discussions only when he is prepared to pursue peace.
The statement comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and debates over U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression. Trump’s remarks have sparked strong reactions, raising questions about the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and diplomatic negotiations in the conflict.
