Zelenskyy did not start a war!
Putin invaded his country!
So embarrassing when the president of my country says such things.

Trump defames Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles. (2025)

@vkaramurza @ekaramurza And every single one of these rubber-stamping “parliamentarians” voted to approve of the invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s military recruitment numbers remain steady, but how long can the regions foot the bill? Meduza asks researcher Janis Kluge. mdza.io/b/80Gf4tvwDg via @meduza_en

As Russia systematically grinds Ukraine into the stone age, the EU, with a combined GDP of $20 trillion (and 8 times Russia’s), apparently is too poor to supply Ukraine with anti-drone defenses and to give Ukraine electricity generators. Shameful, outrageous, immoral. Suicidal.

What a gift to Putin, Trump's “peace plan”! While pretending to “work on it" and whisper sweet nothings into Trump’s ear in 2.5-hour phone heart-to-hearts, Putin will continue bombing Ukraine’s energy installations condemning hundreds of thousands Ukrainians to freezing.

The Ushakov-Dmitriev-Witkoff-Kushner-Trump "peace plan" is not only operationally flawed. It is profoundly immoral: spectator.com/article/trumps…

@McFaul So Ukraine—a country under merciless and completely unprovoked assault by its neighbor, daily under devastating missile and drone attacks, losing hundreds of soldiers and civilians a day to death and injury AND accepting every ceasefire proposal— wants the war to avoid elections!
English
This framing by Trump is both wrong and insulting. Zelenskyy is not "using the war" to stay in power. Zelenskyy, more than anyone, wants to end the killing of his people.

Die Ukraine „nutzt den Krieg, um keine Wahlen abzuhalten“ und das führt sie „an den Punkt, wo sie keine Demokratie mehr ist“. ➡️Feinste russische Propaganda aus dem Mund des US-Präsidenten. Wahrheitsgehalt: null.
