Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator” as rift between two leaders deepens

Source: BBC News [UK state media]

“President Trump has spent the day attacking Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a ‘dictator’ and deepening the rift between the two leaders [sic]. His attacks came after Zelensky, reacting to US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia from which Kyiv was excluded, said the US president was ‘living in a disinformation space’ governed by Moscow. … Zelensky’s five-year term of office was due to come to an end in May 2024. However, Ukraine has been under martial law since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 and elections are suspended.” (02/20/25)
