Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky offered some of the most effusive praise for President Donald Trump on the occasion of his inauguration on Monday – a stark contrast to his apparent support for former election rivals Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the 2024 campaign.
Zelensky published a statement celebrating Trump as a “strong person” and “always decisive,” expressing optimism about his country’s relationship to Washington during the second Trump term. He congratulated Trump a second time during a video message to the Ukrainian people also published on Monday, encouraging Ukrainians by suggesting that the Russian invasion may soon come to an end with Trump’s policies in action.
Zelensky maintained friendly relations with Trump during his first term and played a protagonist role in the Democratic impeachment saga, denying Democrats’ claims that Trump intimidated or otherwise acted inappropriately with him during a phone call. In the Biden era, Zelensky struggled to contain public frustrations with former President Biden before Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Following the invasion, Biden offered billions of dollars in aid to the Ukrainian military, which Zelensky received with more demands for funding and weapons.

I bet he wears a suit when meeting with him
Zelensky had a great deal of influence on the impeachment of Trump. I hope Trump insists that Ukraine holds free elections as a condition for any further assistance.
Zelensky the erotic homo dancer is the biggest scammer in the world. US tax payers hold on to your wallets.
Indeed!
Maybe it woulda been smart of him not to arrive to Pennsylvania in a USAF C-17 and campaign for Kamala.
Or to send spies into his White House to set him up for impeachment.
I don’t remember Volodymeyer coming to Trump’s aid during his first impeachment, and I doubt Trump remembers any help from him either.
He’s toast. Best option is to sneak his family out and then get to the UK as fast as possible.
Gee I wonder I wonder why he is all for Trump?
Trump has been properly deferential to the little fella.
But the comedian needs to read the room.
Trump has made it clear that he sees foreign aid as unnecessary handouts.
The OBSCENE amounts given to the Ukraine cannot even properly be characterized as foreign aid.
It has been a Globalist con job of the greatest magnitude.
Trump nor do I give the slightest care what happens between the Ruskis and the Ukraine.
He just rightly wants us out of it.
This half baked NATO pretense upon which our funding is based will not hold up under Trump.
He go no love of those NATO clowns who would suck us dry.

The only thing Zelensky can do for me, is list which democrats received kickbacks from the Billions they so eagerly sent to him. Their offshore accounts must be bulging.

if Zelenskyy actually wanted to be friends with America, he should complete the investigation of the Biden criminal behavior regarding $1Billion aid package and firing of Prosecutor investigating Burisma. He needs to make sure the investigation is done rigorously, quickly and then results immediately delivered to Trump at its conclusion.
That’s nice but NO MORE MONEY. Anybody else read the story of 8 Ukrainian generals being mansions totalling 90 million dollars
I am tired of giving our tax dollars for them to get rich.

Immediate Release
Biden Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine
This is Biden’s twenty-third USAI package and seventy-third tranche of military equipment to be provided from DoD dwindling military inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced additional security assistance support to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs as part of the surge of security assistance the President directed to put Ukraine in the best possible position. This includes the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package, which has an estimated value of $1.25 billion, to provide Ukraine additional capabilities to meet its most urgent needs, including: missiles for air defense; munitions for rocket systems and artillery; and anti-tank weapons.
In addition, DoD announced an approximately $1.22 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) package to provide Ukraine with additional air defense, air-to-ground, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and other capabilities to fight Russian aggression.
The capabilities in this announcement include:
• Munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• HAWK air defense munitions;
• Stinger missiles;
• Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) munitions;
• Ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition;
• Air-to-ground munitions;
• High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs);
• Unmanned Aerials Systems (UAS);
• Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems;
• Tube-launched, Optically guided, Wire-tracked (TOW) missiles;
• Small arms and ammunition and grenades;
• Demolitions equipment and munitions;
• Secure communications equipment;
• Commercial satellite imagery services;
• Medical equipment;
• Clothing and individual equipment; and
• Spare parts, maintenance and sustainment support, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation.
The United States continues to work together with some 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group and its associated Capability Coalitions to provide the support Ukraine needs to prevail in its fight against Russian aggression.
Trump needs to press Zalensky to release the information he has on HUnter and the rest of the disgusting Biden clan if he wants a single penny or bullet.
And so THE FLATTERY CAMPAIGN BEGINS. I suspect that Trump won’t fall for it and drift from a MAGA focus.
Donald Trump, Jr. posted that Zelensky begged three times to be invited to the Inauguration, and was denied all three times.
What an idiot.
Zelensky is for Zelensky, he does whatever it takes to to keep on keeping on, just don’t turn off his $pigot$. My opinion Zelensky isn’t any better than Putin—both are a bane.
