Trump says Zelenskiy made 'worst statement' about Ukraine war

U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday over comments he made that a deal to end the war with Russia was not near.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump posted an Associated Press story headlined "Ukraine's Zelenskyy says end of war with Russia is 'very, very far away.'"

"This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!" Trump wrote, using an alternate spelling of Zelenskiy.
