Donald Trump has left jaws on the floor with his latest comments, pressuring Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of key talks in Washington. Posting on Truth Social, Trump declared the war with Russia could end ‘almost immediately’ if Zelenskyy wanted, but ruled out Ukraine reclaiming Crimea or joining NATO as part of any deal with Moscow. Talk about a gut punch!
These remarks came just hours before Trump was set to meet Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House on Monday.
‘President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. No getting back Obama given Crimea… and no going into Nato by Ukraine,’ Trump posted on Truth Social.
European diplomats are reportedly on edge, fearing a repeat of past public criticism of Zelenskyy by Trump and VP JD Vance, who previously accused him of ‘ingratitude’ during a White House visit.
What do you reckon—should Zelenskyy stand firm or consider Trump’s harsh terms to end the conflict? This could be the most divisive moment yet in the Ukraine-Russia saga. Drop your take below!
