‘Better not be right’ – Trump on Zelensky’s Russia-Ukraine war comment

President Donald Trump, speaking at the White House on Monday, cautioned President Volodymyr Zelensky over his latest remarks on the Russia-Ukraine war.
Trump referenced Zelensky’s comment during the announcement of a $100 billion investment in the United States by a Taiwan-based chip manufacturing company.
“President Zelensky supposedly made a statement today in AP, he thinks the war is going to go on for a long time. He better not be right about that, that’s all I’m saying,” Trump said.
The president also claimed that Zelensky does not appreciate U.S. assistance, stating that America has done more for Ukraine than Europe since the war began.
“I want to see it (the war) end fast. I don’t want to see this go on for years and years,” Trump emphasised.
Speaking on Europe’s fresh initiative to end the conflict, Zelensky said leaders were still taking “the first steps” regarding the framework.
The Ukrainian leader added that the outlines were not yet on paper and that “an agreement to end the war is still very, very far away.”
