Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he and Ukraine understand Russia “much better” than President Donald Trump, particularly regarding the war.
Zelensky touched on a variety of war-related topics after Ukraine’s daring covert drone assault on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet that destroyed six to 10 bombers in Russia’s scarce force. The Ukrainian president delivered several rebukes to Trump throughout, bashing his characterization of the war and suggesting he didn’t understand the Russians.
“I feel strongly Putin does not want to end the war without [the] total defeat of Ukraine,” Zelensky said, strongly disagreeing when presented with Trump’s assertion that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants peace. “With all due respect to President Trump … I think it’s just his personal opinion. Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians.
Zelensky delivered another strong rebuke to Trump over an analogy he made regarding the war in Ukraine, comparing it to two children fighting at the park.
“Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart,” Trump said in the Oval Office, referring to Russia and Ukraine.
Zelensky admitted his Feb. 28 meeting with Trump in the Oval Office didn’t go well and that he didn’t know if their relationship had been repaired. However, he sounded a hopeful note, pointing to his meeting with the president at Pope Francis‘s funeral as a positive development.
The Ukrainian president also sounded a much different tone than the early days in the war, admitting that the war likely wouldn’t end in a Russian defeat.

Ingratiating? Not. At. All.
Zelensky sounds just like a RAT declaring that President Trump is too stupid to understand Russia’s mentality. Don’t worry pee-wee, Trump’s got you both pegged.
Good grief...could he say anything more stupid?? And yet...we know he will.
Promises Kept!
destroyed 6-10 bombers...Initially, they said 40....lol
A corrupted, penis piano playing comedian about sums up Zelensky. A disgusting clown, and says much about his supporters.
Zelensky is almost right. Total defeat would be desirable for Putin, but that has to be handled carefully.
Russia must not take over Ukraine. It can install a government, but not take possession. The debt Ukraine has accumulated requires that Ukraine not be annexed into Russia.
Has Putin been offered reasonable terms for long-term peace by Ukraine?
The preponderance of evidence says No.
“he and Ukraine understand Russia “much better” than President Donald Trump, particularly regarding the war.”
They probably do, but it needs to be understood that if Putin has a choice between taking all of Ukraine or defeat, he’ll take all of Ukraine. Ukraine is not getting back Crimea or most of the other Russian territorial gains.
The greasy little grifting punk can shove off with his peace obstructionism.
Globalist Western Media “reports” deliberately Disinform in favor of Nazi Ukraine.
Ukrainians chose unwisely, ... when they could vote.
Great so Zelensky can solve all his problems with Russia all by himself.
Ronald Reagan made the USSR evil empire collapse. This freed Eastern Europe and Ukraine from being under the Russian boot. He would disown all the phony conservatives here who push Putin’s putrid propaganda.
Spreading GloboHomoPedoNazi Disinformation!
Yeah, because Russian is your native language Green Booger.
There are videos out there where he praises Russia some years back. LOL
As I recall, you are correct.
Yep, Trump learned he can’t trust Ukraine and western media to tell the truth.
They just report and embellish whatever nonsense rolls off Zelensky’s tongue.
