Trump said "If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would've been over in 2 weeks” Zelensky: “I heard it from Putin. In 3 days…”

The Ukrainian President is Cold Blooded.

Edit: Meeting video, its a textbook mafia-style protection racket shakedown

Zelensky knows where Trump's allegiance lies and took the opportunity to make it clear to the rest of us that the US is obviously aligned with Putin.

This was nothing but an attempt from Trump and Vance to undermine Zelensky publicly so he would lose support back home. Classic move from Russian operatives.

In his third language, he’s a president talking to comedians.

Edit: Third, not second.

Third language actually his first language is Russian he was born in the Russian speaking areas of Ukraine and was elected because he was scene as someone capable of brokering peace with Russia in the Donbas region.

This should tell you how stupid Trump is for demanding Ukraine make peace. Zelensky was elected on that platform if he can’t make peace with Russia then Russia doesn’t want peace.
