Donald Trump sharply criticized Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, accusing the Ukrainian president of “refusing to make a deal” with Russia.
“We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal, Zelensky“, denounced the Republican candidate for the American presidential election, during a campaign meeting.
“Every time he came to our country, he left with 60 billion dollars, I think he is the best salesman on the planet”

Interview compromised
A meeting between Donald Trump, who is very critical of the amounts spent by Washington for kyiv, and the Ukrainian leader was discussed on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
But this interview is likely to be cancelled according to the American press, which assures that the former American president did not appreciate an interview given by Volodymyr Zelensky to the New Yorker magazine – in which the Ukrainian leader claims that the Republican candidate “does not really know how to stop this war”.
“Precise plan”
The septuagenarian in fact stated at the beginning of September that he had a “precise plan” to end the war in Ukraine, but that he would not reveal it in order to maintain the “surprise” effect.
“If I win, as president-elect, I will make sure that a deal is done, that’s guaranteed.”

Donald Trump has also repeatedly claimed that he would resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” – without ever explaining how.
In recent months, he has been particularly critical of the billions of dollars spent by the United States to support kyiv in its war against Moscow, calling on Europe to “get moving”. Contacted by AFP, the Republican candidate’s team refused to confirm whether his interview with Volodymyr Zelensky had indeed been cancelled. (ats/afp)
