'Ukraine has to eat it': White House trash talks Zelenskyy for not taking lopsided deal

Raw Story  

Donald Trump was close to withdrawing American military support from Ukraine after its president Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to sign a peace agreement that even administration officials admit is intolerable. Trump claims the Ukraine president was "rude" and delayed a Feb. 12 meeting in Kyiv with treasury secretary Scott Bessent, who first presented the proposal, and Zelenskyy surprised Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio two days later by saying he couldn't approve the deal without parliament. "Zelenskyy is an actor who committed a common mistake of theater kids: He started to think he's the character he plays on TV," said one White House official involved in the talks. The Ukraine president further angered Trump by claiming he "lives in a disinformation space," and the U.S. president called Zelenskyy a dictator and demanded new elections, which parliament had agreed to cancel next year due to the ongoing Russian invasion.
