Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hit back at Donald Trump’s accusation that Ukraine started its war with Russia, saying that Trump is trapped in a “disinformation bubble” and adding that his country was not for sale.

He rejected Trump’s claim that Kyiv could have avoided the war and defended U.S. aid.

Referring to U.S. support—$67 billion in weapons and $31.5 billion in budgetary aid—Zelenskyy dismissed demands for $500 billion in minerals as “not a serious conversation.”

Moscow welcomed Trump’s remarks, further fueling concerns about his foreign policy approach.

          It’s not really fair to criticize privatization of state assets when the country is under attack and running on fumes. It’s unfortunately a necessity to keep going. I seriously doubt it would’ve happened in peace time.

          You know who else did that? Nations at threat from Nazi invasion in WWII. Do you need to have the why explained to you?
