Vice President J.D. Vance, who met Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week at the Munich Security Conference, said Wednesday that Ukraine's leader is making a mistake by criticizing President Donald Trump, who is seeking a rapid end to the nearly three-year-old war with Russia.
Trump and Zelenskyy traded barbs Wednesday, with Trump calling out Ukraine's president on Truth Social for not holding elections, saying "the only thing he was good at was playing [Joe] Biden 'like a fiddle,'" and calling him a "Dictator without elections." Trump also on Tuesday told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida that Ukraine "should have never started" the war, which will mark its third anniversary on Monday, and "could have made a deal" to end it.
Zelenskyy, who was frustrated that the U.S. started peace talks with Russia first, responded Wednesday that Trump was living in a Russian-made "disinformation space." His comments came shortly before he was to meet in Kyiv with retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump's special envoy to Ukraine and Russia.
"The idea that Zelenskyy is going to change the president's mind by badmouthing him in public media ... everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration," Vance told the Daily Mail from his office in the west wing of the White House.
Vance said Zelenskyy has been getting bad advice on how to deal with the Trump administration after being told for the past three years by the Biden administration that he could do no wrong.

Yeah. She was so effective at getting the Ukraine to destroy itself, it makes me wonder if Victoria Nuland is a witch.
This is rich coming from a guy who said:
"...you ought to, you know, your government should respect when the people have a dissenting viewpoint..."
“”...you ought to, you know, your government should respect when the people have a dissenting viewpoint...””
Since when did Zelensky become a US citizen? We an criticize, but foreigners should STFU.
