Zelensky urges ‘more truth’ after Trump suggests Ukraine started the war. President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the Trump administration to respect the truth. He rejected Trump’s recent assertion that Ukraine was responsible for the war and dismissed claims that his approval rating had plummeted to 4%, citing far higher polling figures. The developments come amid a war that has left nearly a million people dead or wounded on both sides. The remarks underscore growing tensions over U.S. policy on Ukraine and the role of Ukraine in the peace talks with Russia. It is unclear whether the US will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine in peace negotiations with Russia, which is currently in talks with the European Union and the United Nations. The talks are expected to continue until at least the end of the year, when Ukraine will be allowed to participate in the negotiations with the EU and the UN. The US has said that Ukraine will not be involved in any negotiations without Ukraine’s involvement, and that it will not accept terms negotiated in its absence. Ukraine remains steadfast in its position: no agreement should be made without its direct involvement. It has warned that treating Russia as a victim rather than an aggressor was a dangerous precedent. The comments came in response to Trump’s statement that Ukraine “should have never started it” and that elections should be held as part of peace talks.
