President Donald Trump is blaming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for not wanting to bring an end to the war with Russia, and says he never did. In a lengthy post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump outlined the reasons why he is not signing the Russia sanctions bill and laid the blame for the ongoing war at the door of Zelensky. “Zelenskyy doesn’t care,” Trump wrote, “and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did.”
Trump called his decision on Russia “a very simple one.” “I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table,” he wrote. “Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations! Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want!”
He stated that the little help that Russia is giving to Iran, he wants to continue. “Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way,” Trump wrote.
The post then turned on Zelensky and the war being fought over Russian fuel. “Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States,” he wrote. “Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World.”
Trump said Zelensky could have made a better deal for his country two years ago than he can sign today. “He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now,” Trump wrote. “His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The White House is clearly framing the current conflict as a peace negotiation with Moscow, held up by intransigence in Kyiv.
