Donald Trump criticized President Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky for the Russia-Ukraine war in recent comments. He blamed both leaders, asserting the war should never have started and that Biden and Zelensky could have prevented it. Trump specifically criticized Zelensky for continually requesting weapons and money, claiming Ukraine cannot defeat Russia. He referenced a past meeting with Zelensky, highlighting his perception of Zelensky's demands. Trump also reiterated his belief that the 2020 election was rigged and contributed to the war. He stated the war is Biden's responsibility, not his own. Trump's comments follow a "60 Minutes" interview where Zelensky addressed shifting narratives in the US. Zelensky criticized the US for the prevailing Russian narratives, particularly targeting J.D. Vance. The US continues providing weaponry, albeit in reduced amounts, and intelligence to Kyiv. Zelensky may be restraining criticism due to fears of a US arms cutoff. Trump's remarks highlight a shift in his rhetoric, placing more blame on Ukraine's leadership.
