Trump goes after Zelenskyy over 'land swapping' dispute, lays out 'feel out meeting' with Putin
President Donald Trump took aim at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a press event on Monday over his frustration with the Ukrainian leaders objection to "land swapping.""I get along with Zelenskyy, but, you know, I disagree with what he's done, very, very severely, disagree. This is a war that should have never happened," Trump said, reiterating his belief that the Ukrainian president is in part at fault for Russias illegal 2022 invasion."I was a little bothered by the fact that Zelensky was saying, Well, I have to get constitutional approval," Trump said. "I mean, he's got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he needs approval to do a land swap, because there'll be some land swapping going on."SUMMIT WITH PUTIN SET TO TOP TRUMP'S AGENDA THIS WEEK AS UKRAINE WAR TAKES CENTER STAGE"I know that through Russia and through conversations with everybody," Trump added, noting it was "for the good of Ukraine."Zelenskyy who did not declare war on Russia, as Moscow had already invaded, did declare Martial Law on Feb. 24, 2022 with the approval of Ukraines parliament, which gave him presidential powers to mobilize a military response made clear over the weekend that he objected to Trumps "land swapping" proposal and has repeatedly said it would require a national referendum under the nations constitution, not a unilateral decision by him.ZELENSKYY THANKS NATO, EUROPEAN LEADERS FOR BACKING HIS PUSH TO JOIN TRUMPPUTIN SUMMITTrump wouldnt detail what exactly he hopes to get out of the meeting with Putin and described it as a "feel-out meeting," saying within "the first two minutes [hell] know exactly whether or not a deal can be made.""I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin, and I'm going to be telling him, you got to end this war, you got to end it," Trump said, reiterating his belief that if he had won the 2020 election, Putin wouldnt have invaded Ukraine, saying "he wasnt going to mess with me.""I go into that thing fully loaded right up there, and we're going to see what happens," he continued. "It could be a good meeting, and we'll go a step further. We'll get it done."I'd like to see a ceasefire very, very quickly, very quick," he continued. "And, we're going to be dealing with the European leaders and, we're going to be dealing with President Zelensky and hopefully we're going to have a great success."
