President Trump’s highly publicized promise to end the war between Russia and Ukraine “in a day” has spectacularly failed to materialize, and he is now shifting the blame for the stalled peace talks entirely onto Ukrainian President Zelensky. It’s an interesting turn of events, especially since Trump has been so confident about brokering an agreement since winning his second term.
The president is pointing the finger at the victim of the invasion, claiming the Ukrainian leader is solely responsible for the lack of progress in U.S.-led diplomatic efforts. When asked directly what was standing in the way of a resolution, the president gave a remarkably short, one-word answer: “Zelensky.”
