President Zelensky of Ukraine is going gloves off. He's calling out Donald Trump's weakness in public. Let's take a look at what Zelensky just said. He also gave a powerful interview with Sky News in advance of Donald Trump's trip to the United Kingdom. I want to show you that because it was clearly timed. right before Donald Trump arrives in the UK. But I want to contrast that with Donald Trump's incredibly weak rhetoric from today. Weak would be an understatement, as well as Marco Rubio's weak words, again, would be an understatement. So earlier this morning, President Zelensky posted the following. Every single day, Russian terror continues. And every single day, the Russians reject the possibility of ending this war, of ceasing fire and truly talking about peace.

we in ukraine have responded positively to all the proposals from the u.s and trump to end all of these attacks and killings ukraine has also proactively put forward various formats to bring the war to an end it is putin alone who is interested in these killings every day this war remains solely his war the war of russia alone Pause right there. That's in clear response to Donald Trump's social media post blaming the war and saying this is Biden and Zelensky's war. So Zelensky saying this is Russia's war alone. Clap back. Just saying shut up, Donald. Then he goes on to say, and we expect the world. to draw conclusions from this. In other words, stop being an idiot, Donald. Stop being a Putin bootlicker, Donald.

Then Zelensky goes on to say, especially after the drone incursion into Poland, a country that is extremely important for the security of all of Europe. In other words, if you don't give a crap about Ukraine, Donald, which you should, What's next? Poland? What's next? All of NATO, Donald? Pay attention because they're coming from you, you Putin bootlicker. Then he goes on to say a country that respects America and President Trump. Hello, Poland likes you. They just showed up. You may not like me, Donald. Poland likes you. They respect you, so realize what the hell is going on, you moron. Then Zelensky goes on to say, it is crucial that Europe truly understands when it comes to Russia. It's not about one neighbor or another, it's about everyone.

Otherwise, Russia will draw its own conclusions and only expand the war and not necessarily against Ukraine alone. Then Zelensky was asked during this interview with Sky News, do you think that Putin is trying to manipulate and trick Donald Trump? Here, play this clip.
Volodymyr Zelensky 2:48
He definitely wants to trick the U.S.,
Interviewer (Sky News questioner) 2:54
He's doing everything he can to avoid sanctions, to prevent US and Trump from putting sanctions on him. And if you keep postponing applying sanctions, any further, then the Russians will be better prepared.
Ben Meiselas 3:13
Yeah, and he goes, yeah, they want to continue the war. They want to postpone meetings on a ceasefire. Here, play this clip.
Volodymyr Zelensky 3:21
You know that they want to continue the war, and that's why they postponed, you know, these meetings of decisions and about ceasefire. It's not about ceasefire in any way. Yes, I don't know what is in their heads. It's difficult to understand, but we have to recognize that they don't want peace. It's understandable.

Now, Donald Trump, on his way to the United Kingdom, was asked about Ukraine. And Donald Trump's response was, it takes two to tango. That's his word. It takes two to tango. Zelensky and Putin hate each other. And it looks like I'm going to have to get in the room and Putin doesn't want you in the room. Zelensky wants you in the room. Someone wants to tango, you idiot. And it's Zelensky. Zelensky is agreeable to a ceasefire. Putin isn't. If Putin agreed to a ceasefire tomorrow, Donald, there would be no war. But weren't you the person who said that if. You went to Alaska and Putin did not agree to the ceasefire. You would impose strong sanctions against Russia. But then Putin didn't agree to ceasefire and didn't agree to security guarantees and didn't agree to a bilateral and trilateral meeting and instead used the meeting in Alaska as the biggest blunder.
