On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump voiced his frustration over Ukraine’s reluctance to accept certain demands during ongoing negotiations, directing sharp criticism at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a post on Truth Social.
French President Emmanuel Macron responded by urging Trump to focus his anger on the true instigator of the conflict.
“There is an aggressor, Russia, and there is a victim, Ukraine,” Macron said. “American frustration should be directed at only one person: President Putin.”
Although Trump has repeatedly targeted Zelenskyy in his remarks, he also expressed disapproval of Russian President Vladimir Putin following a deadly missile strike on Kyiv on Thursday.
“That attack was unnecessary and came at a terrible time,” Trump wrote in another Truth Social post. “Vladimir, STOP! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the Peace Deal DONE!”
