President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying the Ukrainian leader is prolonging the ‘killing field’ after he pushed back on ceding Crimea to Russia as part of a potential peace plan, APA reports citing AP.
Zelenskyy on Tuesday ruled out the idea of Ukraine ceding territory to Russia in any deal before talks set for Wednesday in London among U.S., European and Ukrainian officials. “There is nothing to talk about — it is our land, the land of the Ukrainian people,” Zelenskyy said.
“This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday. “Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?”
Trump added that “inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s” is making “it so difficult to settle this War.”
“He has nothing to boast about!” Trump said. “The situation for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country.” Zelenskyy’s statement “will do nothing but prolong the ‘killing field,’ and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal, but the man with “no cards to play” should now, finally, GET IT DONE.”
