Trump makes rude statement about Zelenskyy

"I see Zelenskyy is here. I think Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman in history — every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion," Trump said during a rally on Monday in Pennsylvania.

He claimed that Zelenskyy allegedly really wanted his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, to win the election. The former president stated that he would try to push Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table if he wins the election.

"If I win this election, the first thing I’m going to do is call up Zelenskyy and call up President Putin and I say, ‘You got to make a deal, this is crazy,’" Trump said.

Zelenskyy on Trump's peace plan

Zelenskyy stated in an interview with The New Yorker that Trump does not grasp the full complexity of the conflict and avoids addressing whether he wants Kyiv to win the war in his statements.

He does not take seriously the remarks made by JD Vance (the Republican vice-presidential candidate) regarding Trump's peace plan, but he considers these signals to be dangerous.

"His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice. This brings us back to the question of the cost and who shoulders it. The idea that the world should end this war at Ukraine’s expense is unacceptable," emphasized the Ukrainian president.

He added that he does not view the proposed concept as a peace plan. "This would be an awful idea, if a person were actually going to carry it out, to make Ukraine shoulder the costs of stopping the war by giving up its territories," Zelenskyy noted.

Trump's proposals amount to freezing the war and effectively capitulating in a political sense. For more details on Trump's plan and why it is unsuitable for Ukraine, read the article by RBC-Ukraine.
