DONALD Trump has tripled down on his criticism of Ukraine as he issued a blistering attack on Zelensky.
In a tirade on his Truth Social account, the US President blasted him as a “dictator” and a “moderately successful” comedian.

Trump’s more than 200-word blast doubled down on his views on Ukraine and Zelensky
Trump has been attempting to open talks with Vladimir Putin to end the brutal war between Russia and Ukraine which has been raging since 2022.
The 232 word post was the 78-year-old’s strongest rebuke of Zelensky to date – and made crystal clear that he believes only the US has the clout to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump wrote Zelensky was a “modestly successful comedian” and accused him of having “talked the US into a war that couldn’t be won”.
He raged the war “never had to start” and said Ukraine could “never be able to settle” the conflict without “the US and TRUMP”.
“The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back,” wrote Trump.
“Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us.
“We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.”
Trump blasted Zelensky as playing Biden “like a fiddle” – and called him a “dictator without elections”.
He wrote: “Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.
“In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only TRUMP, and the Trump Administration, can do.”
He has been vocal in his criticism of Kyiv and Zelensky – last night saying they should have sued for peace sooner and agreed concessions with the Kremlin.
His change in stance marks the largest shift in US policy towards Russia in decades and is seen as bringing Putin back in from the cold.
European leaders have been wrongfooted by Trump’s screeching reversal of his predecessor Biden’s support for Kyiv.
And now they are scrambling to figure out how – if they can at all – support Ukraine in the fact of a total withdrawal by the US.
Trump’s Truth Social post in full:
TRUMP blasted Zelensky in a new post on Truth Social.
“Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..”
