Trump is tired of carrying Zelensky’s dead weight.
Zelensky must face the facts.
US President Donald J. Trump spoke at length about his view of the Russia-Ukraine peace process.
While many of the ideas expressed by Trump were already circulating, the US leader was very blunt in his assessments of the war and of the Ukraine leadership.
The main point expressed in this interview for Politico is that Trump has told Ukraine to accept his peace proposal because Russia is winning the war.
Watch: ”No question’ Russia has the stronger negotiating position’.

The Telegraph reported:
“The US president suggested his approach to settling the war was in contrast to that of the Europeans, who he claimed would let Kiev fight ‘until they drop’.”
Trump slammed European leaders for failing to ‘adequately support Ukraine’.
“His scathing criticism of Europe emerged after Sir Keir Starmer hosted Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz on Monday for crisis talks on how to end the war.”
President Trump on Zelensky: “He’s gonna have to get on the ball and start accepting things. You know, when you’re losing…they’ve lost territory long before I got here.”

‘He’s a great salesman, I call him P. T. Barnum’ — Trump on Zelensky
‘He got crooked Joe Biden to give him $350 billion, and look what he got: about 25% of his country is missing’

“Russia has the upper hand, and they always did. They’re much bigger. They’re much stronger in that sense. I give the people of Ukraine and the military of Ukraine tremendous credit for the bravery and for the fighting and all of that. But you know, at some point, size will win, generally.”
While saying that he likes the current European leaders, Trump said they ‘talk but they don’t produce’: ‘Well, they can’t be doing too right because look what’s happened’.
‘Is Zelensky responsible for [peace] stalled progress?’
Trump: ‘Well, he’s gotta read the proposal. A lot of people are dying
His TOP people LIKED IT, but they said he HASN’T read it yet. I think he should find time to read it’ pic.twitter.com/23lq8B85Qu
