US president responds to Ukrainian president’s most recent interview, following blow-up in the Oval Office last week

The rift between Washington and Kyiv over a potential ceasefire in the war with Russia deepened on Monday as Donald Trump expressed new outrage at Volodymyr Zelenskyy for saying that the end of the war could be “very, very far away”.

In a post to social media on Monday, Trump posted a link to an Associated Press story outlining Zelenskyy’s comments and said: “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!

“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the US,” Trump continued.

      Nah dude. EU essentially told Zelensky to patch things up with Trump. This will happen before long. I’m sure his underlings are hard at work making it happen as we speak. Then he’ll swallow the whole deal and will say thank you Daddy Trump. The life will go on.

      I have a friend who is from a different former Soviet nation. And acording to him most people would rather die than join back up with Russia.
