Former US President Donald Trump stated his actions regarding Russia are aimed at fostering peace in Ukraina, following accusations from President Volodymyr Zelenskyj that Trump is pushing Ukraina towards surrender. Trump explained on Truth Social that his goal is to prevent scaring Russland away from the negotiating table, claiming conversations are progressing well. He simultaneously criticized Zelenskyj, alleging Ukraina is harming the global fuel market with attacks on Russian oil facilities. Trump asserted Zelenskyj is unconcerned and, given financial aid from Europa and previously from President Joe Biden, does not desire to end the war, possibly never having intended to do so. These statements come as the conflict in Ukraina continues, and diplomatic efforts remain ongoing.
