Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sharply criticized the deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin regarding the supply of diesel fuel. He called this deal 'unfair and dishonest', emphasizing that it looks like a birthday gift for Putin.
Zelensky's Reaction to the Deal
In an interview with Axios, Zelensky noted that the deal looks 'just terrible' and has shocked the Ukrainian government and many European countries. He stressed that such an agreement only strengthens Russia's position in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Trump's Response to the Criticism
In response to Zelensky's remarks, Trump stated that the deal with Russia is a 'big deal', as it will bring 'huge amounts of oil' into the country. He also emphasized that the U.S. is a 'strong partner' and that obtaining diesel fuel is important for the global economy.
Discussion Between Journalists and Trump
Journalists interviewing Trump also conveyed Zelensky's words that he considers Trump weak because of this deal. Trump, in turn, asked who said this and was told it was the President of Ukraine.
Thus, the situation surrounding the deal between Trump and Putin continues to provoke outrage in Kyiv, and the Ukrainian President's position remains clear: such actions only prolong the war and intensify Russian aggression.
