As Donald Trump is directing National Guard forces against Americans and threatening to send the Marines against Americans, a real international leader, President Zelensky, is speaking to Americans. Specifically, his audience here is really the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. And he's speaking to the international community about what's needed to actually defeat Russia. And President Zelensky is not mincing words about Donald Trump's despicable behavior. So here, President Zelensky, in this interview this morning with ABC, talks about how former President Biden was about to give Ukraine 20,000 anti-drone air defense missiles. and that this was so important to stop the Shahad drones that come from Iran and that are being used by Putin to kill innocent Ukrainians, but that Donald Trump directed those anti-drone air defense missiles

to Middle East countries when Donald Trump took that trip and then got the quid pro quo 747 private jet for himself. So Donald Trump took a gold-plated jet for himself and then took 20,000 anti-drone air defense missiles away from Ukraine and put them in the Middle East. where Donald Trump is building Trump hotels and Trump properties. What a despicable piece of crap he is. Here, play this clip. We
Volodymyr Zelenskyy 1:33
counted on this project. 20,000 between us, 20,000 missiles, anti-shaheed missiles. It was not expensive, but it's special technology. So we counted on these 20,000 missiles. Today in the morning, my minister of defense told me that the United States moved it to the Middle East.

You know,

and I know there's some of you who don't like when I do the name calling and say, you're better than that. Sometimes I just have to let you know how I'm feeling at a given place in time. And that's just how I felt when I said that. So whatever. President Zelensky then posts the following. And to me, that's a subtle jab at Trump. He's not helping. the russians are preparing to continue the war and are ignoring all peace proposals they must be held accountable we are working to strengthen ukraine's air defense we urgently need positive signals from the united states regarding air defense systems we are still waiting for a response to our request to purchase systems that can help i thank the european countries for supplies we must also achieve results in joint production of air defense systems and missiles

This is absolutely essential for our whole Europe. Only time separates us from that result. And what matters most is the shortening of that time. Back to ABC. President Zelensky criticizes Donald Trump for comparing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and attack on innocent Ukrainians causing mass death and casualties as something that's like two boys, two kids playing around. President Zelensky goes, Putin is not a boy. He's not a kid. He is an evil, evil dictator who is trying to have a genocide of Ukraine. Here, play this clip.

How does Zelensky describe the impact of moving the missiles to the Middle East?

Trump this week comparing it to two children fighting in a park.
Donald Trump 3:47
Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other and they're fighting in a park. And you try and pull them apart. They don't want to be pulled. Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while. and then pulling them apart.
Martha Raddatz 4:03
President Zelensky strongly refuting that notion. We are not playing in the park with the Russians like two boys, two kids. Putin is not a kid, Zelensky said, describing him as a maniac. So we can't compare and we cannot say, okay, let them fight for a while. Zelensky adding, and it's not about President Trump. Anyone living thousands of miles away can't fully understand the pain. Even parents who live in Ukraine cannot feel the pain of those who lost their children. The president telling the story of a man who lost his wife and three children in a missile strike, who told Zelenskyy... every morning i'm looking i'm just looking for my family i am looking everywhere in the flat i still feel that it was a nightmare i go outside i see a father who holds his little girl's hand and the girl is just like my dead daughter i feel physical pain i can't do anything about it it is
