Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that President Donald Trump taking Russian President Vladimir Putin’s side in the war against Ukraine would be a “historic mistake.” According to HuffPost, Zelenskyy said Ukraine would struggle to win the war without American support and urged Trump to be clear about where he stands.
His remarks came as Trump faced criticism over his Russia policy. He then described what a closer bond between Washington and Moscow would mean for Ukraine. “But if the United States will support Putin, I mean, it’s unbelievable. It’s a tragedy,” he said. “It’s a historic mistake and a big tragedy.”
