President Donald Trump has ignited a war of words with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” in response to allegations of being influenced by “Russian disinformation”. The dispute between the two leaders arose after Zelensky accused Trump of falling victim to false information spread by Russia.
Adding fuel to the fire, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his interest in meeting with Trump, stating that it would be a pleasure. These remarks were made following discussions between Russian and US officials in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine was notably excluded.
The tension between the US, Russia, and Ukraine continues to escalate, with Trump’s comments reflecting the strained relationships between the countries. The situation remains volatile as each leader stands firm on their stance, leading to further uncertainties in the geopolitical landscape.
