Trump Faces Backlash Over Criticism of Zelensky and Ukraine Policy

Donald Trump’s remarks on Ukraine’s president and exclusion of Kyiv from peace talks stir international concern as U.S. policy shifts toward Russia.

• Trump referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a 'dictator' and falsely claimed Ukraine started the war, echoing Russian narratives.
• The U.S.-Russia peace talks in Riyadh excluded Ukraine, drawing criticism from Zelensky and European leaders for sidelining Kyiv in negotiations about its own future.
• Trump suggested Ukraine hold elections despite logistical and legal challenges posed by martial law, a stance aligned with Russian demands.
• European leaders, including Germany’s Olaf Scholz and the UK’s Keir Starmer, reaffirmed Zelensky’s democratic legitimacy and criticized Trump’s comments.
• The Trump administration’s approach to Ukraine, including potential concessions to Russia, raises concerns about U.S. commitment to NATO and transatlantic alliances.
