Trump's remarks provoke confusion and criticism in Europe
"We don't understand the logic very well," said Sophie Primas, a spokesperson for the French government. This is a reaction to Donald Trump's comments suggesting that Kyiv started the war and that Zelensky lacks societal support.
US President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine during a press conference. He stated that Kyiv should have ended the war three years ago, at the very beginning. He even suggested that Ukraine itself started it. - You should have never started it. You could have made a deal - he said.
Trump also criticized Zelensky. - We have a situation where we haven’t had elections in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he’s down at 4% approval rating and where a country has been blown to smithereens. You got most of the cities are laying on their sides - he said.
French government spokesperson, Sophie Primas, expressed concern over US President Donald Trump's comments about Volodymyr Zelensky.
Primas noted that Trump's comments are "not very understandable" and undermine the "coherence" of the American position. - We don't understand the logic very well - she added.
"He's living in a bubble." Zelensky responds to Trump's words

The President of Ukraine accused Trump's circle of being influenced by "disinformation coming from Russia." - With all due respect to President Donald Trump as a leader....he is living in this disinformation bubble - he said.
