“We are not children with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin in the Patio de Recreo in the park, “Zelenskyy said in an interview with Martha Raddatz from ABC.” He is a murderer who came to this park to kill children. “

Trump made the analogy during an Oval office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

“Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy,” Trump said. “They hate and fight in a park, and you try to separate them. They don’t want to be removed. Sometimes you are better to let you fight for a while and then separate them.”

He pointed out that he had transmitted the feeling in a call with Putin earlier for the week.

“I said: ‘President, maybe you will have to continue fighting and suffering a lot’, because both parties are suffering before separating them, before they can be separated,” Trump said. “You see in the hockey, you see it in sports. The referees let them go for a couple of seconds, let them go for a while before separating them.”

In an interview scheduled to broadcast on ABC Sunday “This Week with George Stephanopoulos”, Zelenskyy said that Trump and others that are “thousands of miles away” do not understand that the suffering Ukrainians have experienced since Russia invaded the country in February 2022. He relocated the comments he heard of a father who lost his family who lost his family in a family Missiles, saying that Trump “could not feel completely and understood this pain.” “” “

Trump has openly criticized Zelenskyy several times, arguing that he has maintained a possible peace plan by refusing to give up parts of the country to Russia. Trump markedly attacked Zelenskyy in an important shock during an Oval office meeting, where the president and vice president of the United States, JD Vance, rebuked Zelenskyy and called him “disrespectful.”
