The pugnacious response followed Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion three years ago.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hit back at Donald Trump’s accusation that Ukraine started its war with Russia, saying that Trump is trapped in a “disinformation bubble” and adding that his country was not for sale.

He rejected Trump’s claim that Kyiv could have avoided the war and defended U.S. aid.

Referring to U.S. support—$67 billion in weapons and $31.5 billion in budgetary aid—Zelenskyy dismissed demands for $500 billion in minerals as “not a serious conversation.”

Moscow welcomed Trump’s remarks, further fueling concerns about his foreign policy approach.

    “I don’t like Trump’s flirting with Putin," said 49-year-old Fedir Logvynenko. “I don’t quite understand whether it’s from great intelligence or from complete incompetence.”

    Hate to break it to you, but it’s pretty obviously the latter.

      Is that translated? Or, rather, does Fedir speak English?

      I got a funny feeling that the translators in global media sound a hell of a lot more competent than Trump. And there’s a hell of a lot gained in translation.
