Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has hit back at criticism from former US President Donald Trump, accusing him of being influenced by Russian disinformation. Trump had previously blamed Zelenskyy for Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompting a swift response from the Ukrainian leader.
In response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg arrived in Kyiv for talks with President Zelenskyy and military commanders. Kellogg reassured reporters that the US understood Ukraine’s concerns, signaling potential support from the Biden administration in the face of Russian aggression.
The exchange between Zelenskyy and Trump underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region, with Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and ongoing military incursions into Ukrainian territory continuing to pose a significant challenge to international security.
As the situation in Ukraine remains tense, diplomatic efforts are crucial in de-escalating tensions and finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict. With key players like the US engaging in talks with Ukrainian officials, the hope remains for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
