At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on September 23, Trump said that Zelensky wants the Democrats to win the 2024 US elections.
“I believe that Zelensky is the best salesman in history. “Every time he comes, he leaves with $60 billion,” Trump said. – He really wants them to win these elections, but I would have done it differently – I would have agreed on peace.”
According to Reuters, the statement of the presidential candidate from the Republican Party contrasts with the line of some of his allies, who say that Ukraine would welcome the return of Trump, because only he, they say, can negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign criticized Trump for not saying he wanted Ukraine to win the war.
“Vice President Harris understands that if America withdraws from Ukraine, Putin will be sitting in Kyiv looking at the rest of Europe and our NATO allies,” the Harris campaign said.
The Office of President Zelensky has not yet commented on the statements of the former US president.
Trump did not specify exactly how he plans to negotiate peace with Russia, saying he will call Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and urge them to negotiate.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyi is in the USA, where he plans to attend the session of the UN General Assembly, as well as present Ukraine’s “victory plan” to US President Joe Biden, as well as presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Zelensky is scheduled to meet with Biden and Harris on September 26. Trump said last week that he would “probably” meet with Zelensky.
The US and its allies have provided multibillion-dollar aid to Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, and have also imposed several rounds of sanctions against Moscow.
Earlier, during a telephone conversation with Trump, Zelensky noted the “vital importance of bipartisan and bicameral American support for the protection of freedom and independence” of Ukraine.
