In the same post, Donald Trump criticized Volodimir Zelenski for his statements that Ukraine would not recognize the Russian occupation of Crimea, describing his reference provocative and detrimental to peace negotiations with Russia.

“This statement is very detrimental to peace negotiations with Russia,” Trump wrote in a post on social media. He argued that Crimea was lost for years “and is not even a point of debate”.

“No one is asking Zelenski to recognize Crimea as Russian territory, but if he wants it back, because they didn’t fight for her eleven years ago, when he surrendered to Russia without even falling a bullet?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
