Observations on Trump on Russia-Ukraine:
1. Trump must be seen as an ally of Russia & not of Ukraine, which should be stated in all comments. Why?
2. Trump asked both Russia & Ukraine to opt for ceasefire. Ukraine complies, Russia did not. Trump scolded UKraine. /1

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

12. Each time Trump meets Zelensky, he calls Putin first for instructions & afterwards to report his results. That is how an Putin asset behaves.
13. Needless to say, the persistent liar Trump is not saying a true word about the Russia-Ukraine war. /7

Zelensky commented on the statement about an attack on Putin’s residence.

"Although Russians spread fakes to justify their strikes against Ukraine and further prolong this war, the world’s key intelligence services must possess the real information." Zelensky.
