Donald Trump once again harshly attacks Volodymyr Zelensky on Truth for his refusal to recognize Crimea as Russian, calling him a man "with no cards to play".
“It is incendiary statements like Zelensky’s that make it so difficult to resolve this war. He has nothing to brag about. The situation for Ukraine is dire: it can either achieve peace or it can fight for another three years before losing the entire country,” he wrote, arguing that “ Zelensky’s statement today will only prolong the ‘death camp.’”
Zelensky, Trump writes, “boasts on the front page of the Wall Street Journal that ‘Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There is nothing to talk about.’ This statement is very damaging to peace negotiations with Russia, given that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion. No one is asking Zelensky to recognize Crimea as Russian territory, but if he wants it, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago, when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired? The area has also been home to major Russian submarine bases for many years before the ‘Obama handover.’”
