Investing.com -- President Trump has criticized Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on his social media platform, Truth. Trump stated that Zelenskyy needs to act quickly or he may no longer have a country to lead.

In his post, Trump referred to Zelenskyy as a "modestly successful comedian" who convinced the United States to spend $350 billion on a war that, according to Trump, couldn’t be won and didn’t need to start. He claimed that without U.S. support and his own influence, Zelenskyy will not be able to resolve the conflict.

Trump highlighted that the U.S. has spent $200 billion more than Europe on this war, with Europe’s investment being guaranteed, while the U.S. will not see a return. He questioned why President Joe Biden did not demand equalization, given that the war is more significant to Europe than the U.S.

Furthermore, Trump accused Zelenskyy of admitting that half of the money the U.S. sent to Ukraine is missing. He also claimed that Zelenskyy is refusing to hold elections and is performing poorly in Ukrainian polls. Trump criticized Zelenskyy as being "good at playing Biden like a fiddle" but described him as a "dictator without elections."

In his post, Trump also stated that his administration is successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, a task he believes only his administration can achieve. He accused Biden of not making an attempt and Europe of failing to bring peace. Trump suggested that Zelenskyy might want to keep the war ongoing.

In his concluding remarks, Trump expressed his love for Ukraine but criticized Zelenskyy’s leadership, stating that Ukraine is in ruins and millions have died unnecessarily under his administration.
