Zelenskyy makes "worst statement" about distant peace with Russia. US will not put up with it, - Trump
US President Donald Trump has called the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the war with Russia is still "very far away" the "worst statement".
He wrote about this on his social network Truth Social, Censor.NET reports.
Zelenskyy's words, which were commented on by the American president, were heard the night before, when the Ukrainian leader was leaving London after participating in the summit.

"This is the worst statement that Zelenskyy could have made, and America will not put up with it for long! This is what I said, this guy doesn't want peace as long as he has America's support, and Europe has said directly in a meeting with Zelensky that they can't do it without the United States," Trump said.
According to him, "it's probably not the best statement" made in terms of "demonstrating strength to Russia."
"What are they thinking?" Trump summarized.
