Zelenskyy Under Fire For Nasty New Attack On Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is facing backlash from Trump supporters and political analysts following his latest harsh remarks about President Donald Trump. These comments come just weeks after a tense White House meeting that temporarily halted U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

During an address to European media in Paris, Zelenskyy did not hide his frustration with the Trump administration. Known for his usually diplomatic approach, the Ukrainian leader took aim at a top Trump envoy, cast doubt on America’s reliability as a long-term ally, and criticized the president’s management of U.S.-Ukraine relations.

His statements followed an unexpected visit to the White House on February 28, where he reportedly engaged in a heated Oval Office exchange with Trump and Vice President JD Vance. According to sources, Zelenskyy was frequently interrupted during the discussion before ultimately being dismissed without clear reasoning.

Shortly after, military aid and intelligence sharing were cut off but later reinstated after Zelenskyy softened his position and accepted a U.S.-mediated 30-day ceasefire. Despite this, his latest comments appear to have reignited tensions.

“If America is going to stand strong and not bend to the conditions of the Russians—we stand on our land,” Zelenskyy told BBC News. “We are defending it; we have shown our resilience to everyone… And now it’s very important that our partners would be resilient and strong, at least at the minimum, as we are.”

When asked whether he believes the U.S. will maintain its support, he responded, “I hope so. I hope so. God bless they will. But we’ll see.”

Zelenskyy continued to offer pointed criticism. He also took aim at Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, stating, “I think that Witkoff often quotes the Kremlin narratives.”

“I can’t be ungrateful to the Americans for everything they did, but they are often, unfortunately, under the influence of Russian narratives. And we cannot agree with these narratives.”

He further remarked, “He doesn’t look like a military man. He doesn’t look like a general, and he doesn’t have such experience. As far as I know, he is very good at selling and buying real estate. And this is a little different.”

Despite a warm welcome in Paris—where French President Emmanuel Macron hosted him for a private dinner and illuminated the Eiffel Tower in Ukrainian colors—Zelenskyy’s remarks suggested mounting concerns over the U.S. stance under Trump’s leadership.

“He [Putin] will die soon. It is a fact,” Zelenskyy stated. “His reign could end before he finishes his historically insignificant and unsuccessful life. This is what he fears.”

“I will do everything I can to defend Ukraine as much as I can. And I am definitely younger than Putin.”

“We needed to unblock the aid from the U.S.,” he added. “For us, the exchange of intelligence is very important.”
