DONALD Trump has tripled down on his criticism of Ukraine as he issued a blistering attack on Zelensky.
In a tirade on his Truth social account, the US President blasted him as a “dictator” and a “moderately successful” comedian.
Trump been attempting to open talks with Vladimir Putin to end the brutal war between Russia and Ukraine which has been raging since 2022.
The 232 word post was the 78-year-old’s strongest rebuke of Zelensky to date – and made crystal clear that he believes only the US has the clout to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump wrote Zelensky was a “modestly successful comedian” and accused him of having “talked the US into a war that couldn’t be won”.
He has been vocal in his criticism of Kyiv and Zelensky – last night saying they should have sued for peace sooner and agreed concessions with the Kremlin.
His change in stance marks the largest shift in US policy towards Russia in decades and is seen as bringing Putin back in from the cold.
European leaders have been wrongfooted by Trump’s screeching reversal of his predecessor Biden’s support for Kyiv.
And now they are scrambling to figure out how – if they can at all – support Ukraine in the fact of a total withdrawal by the US.
