00:00Trump ripped for reprehensible comments about Ukraine.

00:04President Donald Trump is once again suggesting that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky

00:08has been ungrateful amid negotiations to end the Ukraine-Russia war.

00:13Representative Don Bacon slammed the remarks, calling Trump's shift in tone reprehensible.

00:18Trump recently echoed language from his February Oval Office meeting with Zelensky.

00:23CNN's Jim Souto asked the retired Air Force general,

00:26Are you confident that the president ultimately lands on Ukraine's side here?

00:31In his latest comments, Trump again suggested that Ukraine has been ungrateful for U.S. aid

00:35and has little leverage in the situation.

00:38Zelensky quickly responded on social media, thanking the U.S. for its support.

00:43We are grateful for everything that America and President Trump are doing for security,

00:47and we keep working as constructively as possible, he said.

00:51Bacon criticized the president's remarks, calling them reprehensible.

00:54The people of Ukraine are grateful for our help, Bacon insisted.

00:59That's why I think the House and the Senate need to take the lead here, he said.

01:03Bacon urged Congress to take charge of Ukraine negotiations.

01:07He responded to a post from Vice President J.D. Vance,

01:10who noted that the Beltway GOP is frustrated that the Trump administration

01:14may finally bring a four-year conflict in Eastern Europe to a close.

01:18Bacon replied,

01:19Many of us are Reagan fans.

01:21We hate appeasing Putin's Russia and throwing Ukraine.

01:23Who wants freedom and independence under Putin's bus?

01:26The Thursday 28-point surrender plan was disgusting.

01:30In a follow-up post, Bacon added,

01:32Congress must be proactive on Ukraine.

01:35The 28-point peace plan the administration proposed would have been disastrous to our nation's honor

01:39and undermined European and our national security.

01:43We cannot sit on the sidelines any longer.

01:45Tiffred Dunt.

01:46We'll try to trade more.

01:46Bye-bye.

01:47Bye-bye.

02:14Bye-bye.
