During a White House press conference Wednesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated his belief that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is performing well in the war against Russia. Responding to a question about Ukraine’s prospects for victory, Trump acknowledged Zelenskyy’s ability to maintain Ukraine’s defense. He commented that Zelenskyy is “doing quite well” and “holding out,” despite significant casualties on both sides of the conflict. Trump’s remarks, reported by AFP, represent a shift in tone from previous statements where he was critical of Zelenskyy and Ukraine. The comments come as the war continues with no clear end in sight and international support for Ukraine remains a key factor. This assessment offers a rare instance of praise from Trump towards the Ukrainian leader during the ongoing conflict.
