U.S. President Donald Trump is taking direct aim at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of showing “zero gratitude” for American support in the war against Russia. The remarks—posted on Trump’s Truth Social account—come as U.S., European, and Ukrainian officials meet in Geneva for high-stakes peace talks that could shape the next phase of the conflict.

Ukrainian officials pushed back, with National Security and Defence Council Secretary Rustem Umerov publicly thanking U.S. partners and emphasizing that Ukrainian priorities are being reflected in the ongoing negotiations.

00:00In a shocking move, U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Ukraine of showing zero gratitude
00:09for America's support amid ongoing conflict with Russia. He also criticized Europe for the same
00:17and claimed that the U.S. and the Ukrainian leadership failures under the Biden administration
00:21contributed to the war. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote,
00:26The war between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S.
00:32and Ukrainian leadership, would have never happened. I inherited a war that should have
00:37never happened. A war that is a loser for everyone, especially the millions of people
00:42that have so needlessly died. Ukraine leadership has expressed zero gratitude for our efforts,
00:48and Europe continues to buy oil from Russia. The USA continues to sell massive amounts of
00:53weapons to NATO for distribution to Ukraine. Trump's comments came amid the continuing
00:58international negotiations over peace proposals for Ukraine. Trump, in his social media post,
01:05also criticized European nations for continuing to purchase Russian oil. The Telegraph also mentioned
01:12that the American president referred to a 28-point U.S.-Russia peace plan that would reportedly favor
01:17Moscow. However, Ukrainian officials have responded promptly. Emphasizing their appreciation for U.S.
01:24support, Rustam Umarov, Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, posted on social media.
01:31Our current proposals, while still not finalized, include many Ukrainian priorities. We appreciate our
01:37American partners working closely with us to understand our concerns to reach this critical point,
01:42and we expect to make more progress today. The statements nonetheless underscored a contrast in
01:48perspectives. Trump's critique of Kyiv's leadership and European allies and Ukrainian officials' continued
01:55acknowledgement of U.S. cooperation. Earlier on November 22nd, Trump said his current proposal for peace
02:01in Ukraine to end Russia's war is not his final offer.
02:04The Ukraine war with Russia should have never happened. If I were president, it never would have
02:21happened. We're trying to get it ended. One way or the other, we have to get it ended.
02:26Meanwhile, international discussions on potential peace plans are ongoing in Geneva, with both
02:43American and European proposals on the table. Will it result in any breakthroughs in the peace
02:49negotiations? Only time will tell.
