President Trump called Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator without elections” after the Ukrainian president said Mr. Trump was in a “web of disinformation.”According to The New York Times, the ongoing feud between President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and President Trump reached a new level on Wednesday. In a post filled with false information, Mr. Trump mocked his counterpart, calling him a “dictator without elections.” This came after Mr. Zelensky accused the American leader of being “caught in a web of disinformation” from Russia regarding the war in Ukraine.
The tension between the two leaders was sparked by a meeting between American and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, where talks were held to end the war in Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian government was not invited to the meeting. In response, Mr. Trump suggested that Ukraine was responsible for starting the war, which prompted a strong rebuttal from Mr. Zelensky on Wednesday morning.
In a press conference at his presidential office in Kyiv, Mr. Zelensky criticized Mr. Trump and his views on the war in Ukraine, stating that he would like to see more truth from the Trump team. He also accused the U.S. president of living in a “web of disinformation.” The Ukrainian presidential office is still fortified with sandbags, a reminder of the ongoing conflict in the country.
