In his latest attack on Ukraine, a nation that was invaded ten years ago, Trump has claimed that Ukraine’s president lacks legitimacy and that his country started the war with Russia. “We have a situation where we haven’t had elections in Ukraine, where we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine.” In saying this Trump was echoing the Kremlin’s latest propaganda effort, which is being amplified on social media platforms like Elon Musk’s “X”, that Volodymyr Zelensky has no legitimacy. At the same time, the legal fixation of the agreements is subject to serious discussion, taking into account the reality that speaks about the possibility of challenging the credibility of Zelensky himself," said Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, as Russia’s team was arriving in Saudi Arabia to talk about normalizing relations with Washington and start “peace talks” over Ukraine. open image in gallery Volodymyr Zelensky said that Mr Trump ‘lives in a disinformation space’ “Unfortunately, President Trump – I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us – unfortunately lives in this disinformation space,” the Ukrainian leader said.
