Trump's critique of Kyiv sparks backlash from France and Zelensky
- We don't understand the logic very well - said the French government spokesperson Sophie Primas. This is a reaction to Donald Trump's comments, suggesting that Kyiv initiated the conflict and that Zelensky lacks popular support.
US President Donald Trump criticised Ukraine during a press conference. He said Kyiv should have resolved the conflict three years ago, at the very beginning, even suggesting that Ukraine itself initiated it. "You should have never started it. You could have made a deal," he said.
Trump also criticised Zelensky himself. - We have a situation where we haven’t had elections in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he’s down at 4% approval rating and where a country has been blown to smithereens. You got most of the cities are laying on their sides - he said.
French government spokesperson, Sophie Primas, expressed concern over US President Donald Trump's remarks about Volodymyr Zelensky.
Primas noted that Trump's comments are "not very understandable" and undermine the "coherence" of the American position. - We don't understand the logic very well - she added.

Volodymyr Zelensky also responded to Trump's words on Wednesday. He emphasised that he usually does not comment on polls or popularity rankings but pointed out that in the latest surveys, he is trusted by 57 per cent of Ukrainians.
The President of Ukraine accused Trump's circle of being influenced by "disinformation coming from Russia." - With all due respect to President Donald Trump as a leader....he is living in this disinformation bubble - he said.
