Trump -- who had a blazing public row in the Oval Office with Zelensky six weeks ago -- said the Ukranian shared the blame with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the February 2022 invasion, and then-US president Joe Biden.
“Let’s say Putin number one, but let’s say Biden, who had no idea what the hell he was doing, number two, and Zelensky,“ Trump said during a meeting with the visiting president of El Salvador.
“He’s always looking to purchase missiles,“ he said dismissively of the Ukrainian leader’s attempts to maintain his country’s defense against the Russian invasion.
Relations between Trump and Zelensky have been tense ever since the US president stunned the world by opening talks with Russia in February.
Zelensky has since tried to patch things up, including sending a delegation to Washington last week to discuss a mineral deal Trump has called for, that would give the US preferential access to Ukrainian natural resources.
Trump however insisted a deal to end the Ukraine war was possible, despite Ukrainian accusations that Moscow is stalling.
Trump’s comments came despite a deadly Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy on Sunday that killed at least 35 people, one of the deadliest attacks of the war.
Zelensky urged US counterpart Donald Trump in a CBS interview broadcast Sunday to visit his country to better understand the devastation wrought by Russia’s invasion.
