Trump Calls Ukraine Ungrateful, Again, for U.S. Support in War With Russia

[Coventina]

Ukraine’s government has been insufficiently thankful for American aid, President Trump said Sunday, appearing to repeat his criticism of President Volodymyr Zelensky just as representatives from both nations were meeting to discuss a peace plan with Russia.

The complaint could increase the pressure on the Ukrainian president to accede to the 28-point peace plan, which includes many of the maximalist demands Moscow has made throughout the war. On Friday, Mr. Zelensky said the plan amounted to one of the most difficult moments in the country’s history.

Mr. Trump’s comment, which he shared in a post on social media, was only the latest expression of disdain for the Ukrainian leadership that he has made since his return to office.

“UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS,” Trump said.

Hours later, Mr. Zelensky thanked Mr. Trump in a statement on social media.

“We are grateful for everything that America and President Trump are doing for security, and we keep working as constructively as possible,” he said.

Trump wants his ass kissed for doing the right thing.

What a fucking toddler.

1. Zelensky Would Have Been Perfectly Correct in Thanking the American People for Their Aid and Support

In spite of all Trump's efforts to thwart that aid and betray Ukraine at every opportunity.

And not that he is doing the right thing this time either - after all, that is antithetical to his character.

It's just more of what in the world of sports is known as "playing the refs." A very commonplace miscreant's and inferior competitor's ruse.
