"Donald Trump lives in a space of Russian disinformation," Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the US president's attacks. According to Zelensky, Trump, who accused Kiev of starting the war and said that the Ukrainian president's popularity rating is at 4%, is a victim of Vladimir Putin's deception . "We have great respect for him as a leader of the American people, but he lives in this space of disinformation."
Answering questions from journalists, Zelensky also accused Trump of helping Putin "to end three years of isolation from the West. And all this does not have a positive impact on Ukraine."
On the conflict: " We want to end the war this year, but we demand solid security guarantees from Western partners ."
The Ukrainian president was also questioned about the decision not to sign the US-proposed agreement on mineral resources, the Trump administration was asking Kiev for access to 50% of Ukraine's strategic minerals in exchange for American economic and military assistance: " I defend Ukraine, I cannot sell out our country. The agreement does not protect my country. We are ready for peace but we need security guarantees. We need a serious document, the Americans are not engaging in a serious conversation."
