Vice President J.D. Vance on Wednesday warned the Ukrainian president against attacking President Donald Trump, saying that 'badmouthing' him in public would only backfire.
Vance spoke to DailyMail.com hours after Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky accused Trump of living in a Russian-made 'disinformation space.'
The extraordinary language on both sides comes at a critical time in the war between Ukraine and Russia, as Trump pushes for a speedy resolution.
'The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president's mind by bad mouthing him in public media, everyone who knows the President will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration,' said Vance during an exclusive interview in his West Wing office.
At the same time, Trump weighed in with his own attack on Truth Social.
'A Dictator without Elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,' he wrote.
Vance said Zelensky had been getting 'bad advice' on how to deal with the new administration and for the past three years had been told he could do nothing wrong.

He’s getting to the FO part, real quick.
Without the U.S. both Zelensky and Europe are all hat and no cattle. Little Z-Man is about to be a hunted billionaire refugee with no country.
Zelensky needs to learn that although Trump likes to bad mouth others in public he will not put up with others doing it to him.
This is what a Vice-President is supposed to do.
Trump told Vance ~ You poke him in the chest every chance you get. Make it amazing. Make it beautiful.
Vance will learn—no need to speak out on this.
Revenge is a dish best served cold (and without warning).
The last sentence of the article is a lie. Trump did not say that “Ukraine has started the war”
Wrong. Trump responds to attacks, not just badmouths people.
Zelensky will lose the presidency if the war ends. Right now the country is under Martial Law and he is supreme dictator.
He choose poorly.
Zalinsky has grown accustom to the money flow from the bidens. He should have kept his mouth shut because this new administration is FAFO.
The little punk gypsy got himself into a whole bunch of trouble.
Expect the little punk will make another trip to France? To cry and complain.
The best trip for him will be his final trip anywhere.
All I want is to have doge audit Ukraine Aids, all of them
An audit of Zelenskis personal accounts could well explain why he doesn’t want this war to end.
Not real smart unless you don’t want the war to end.
Exactly right you are. Trump is the best counter-puncher president I have seen in my life of 85 years.
Z is out of his lane in his little Barbie pedal car.
