What is Trump’s strategy when calling Zelensky dictator?

Zelensky had criticized what he called negotiation “about Ukraine without Ukraine” among Russians and Americans. Members of the governments of Trump and Vladimir Putin gathered on Tuesday (18, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to discuss an end to the fight without participation of Ukrainians or other Europeans.

On Wednesday, Zelensky said Trump was living in a “disinformation space” promoted by Russia. “We must never forget that Russia is governed by pathological liars. They are not reliable and should be pressured,” he said on social networks.

In response, the American called the dictator’s Ukrainian. Zelensky, who was elected for a five -year term, is completing exactly 9 months more as president. The Ukrainian law provides for the possibility of no elections during periods of war.

The American tycoon is increasingly aligned with Russian rhetoric. Trump also considered Zelensky guilty for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, choosing Moscow’s justification that the war began only because the Ukrainians wanted to join NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

Confrontation remains beyond the bravado world. A residential area in Odessa, southern Ukraine, was the target of a Russian attack on Wednesday. According to the mayor of the city, 14 schools, 13 kindergartens and at least 500 houses are without electricity and warming. The attack on energy structures and residential centers is part of Putin’s commanded war strategy since the beginning of the combat.
