PRESIDENT Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky have become embroiled in a war of words a day after the Russia-US meeting in Riyadh focusing on Ukraine.
Trump slammed Zelensky over his refusal to hold elections, saying he’s down to “four per cent approval” and that Ukraine looks like a “massive demolition site” under his leadership.
Zelensky did not make good on his promise to end the war in the Donbass — the single biggest reason he was elected in the spring of 2019.
Declaring verbal support for the Minsk Agreements in October 2019, Zelensky triggered large-scale street protests led by nationalist thugs threatening to oust him. He quickly backed down, never returning to the issue again.
