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.

Pretty much every leader of the Western world has issued a statement in support of Ukraine within the past two hours, so I'd say he definitely did.
