Trump is living in a Russian 'disinformation space': Zelenskyy

Feb 19, 2025 6:30 PM, 19 news, a view

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday (February 19, 2025) that U.S. President Donald Trump is living in a Russian-made “disinformation space” as a result of his administration’s discussions with Kremlin officials.

Mr. Zelenskyy said he “would like Trump’s team to be more truthful.”

He made the comments shortly before he was expected to meet with Gen. (retd) Keith Kellogg, the U.S. special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, who arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday (February 19, 2025). Gen. Kellogg will meet Mr. Zelenskyy and military commanders as the U.S. shifts its policy away from years of efforts to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Mr. Trump suggested Tuesday (February 18, 2025) that Kyiv was to blame for the war, which enters its fourth year next week, as talks between top American and Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia sidelined Ukraine and its European supporters.
