Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has refuted false claims made by former US President Donald Trump, who wrongly accused Ukraine of initiating the conflict with Russia. Zelensky, speaking in Kyiv, expressed disappointment in Trump's dissemination of disinformation and emphasized the enduring support of the American people towards Ukraine.
Recent high-level talks between US and Russian officials in Riyadh aimed at resolving the war in Ukraine excluded Kyiv, prompting Trump's misleading remarks. The discussions resulted in the agreement to establish top-level negotiation teams and the commitment to reestablish diplomatic communication channels.
