The US President dismantled Putin to attack the legitimacy of Zelinski as the leader of Kyiv.

“If we are in the midst of negotiation, you can say that I was very angry, angry … when Putin started reaching Zelinski’s credibility,” Trump told NBC News. “This does not go at the right site, do you understand?”

Later on Air Force One, when he returned to Washington from Florida, the US President took his own criticism of Zelenskyy, accusing him of rejecting an agreement to reach the United States to critical Ukraine minerals after Washington presented Extensive To Kyiv last week.

“We need to participate more with America, and to find ways to force Russia to peace and work on security guarantees, which must become our next step after the ceasefire,” Zellinski said. “Russia continues to search for excuses to withdraw this war further. Putin has played the same game that has he has since 2014.”

Trump had previously threatened Russia with new definitions and sanctions if it resisted an agreement, but expanding the trade scope of Russian oil buyers in other countries will add more pressure to Putin.
