President Donald Trump said Friday being tired of how the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, is managing the war with Russia: “He has no letter,” he said in an interview with Fox News Radio.
“I have been watching for years and I have seen it negotiate without letters. He has no letters and tired, ”said the Republican leader, who said” having seen enough. “
Trump also criticized that Zelenski complains about the start of negotiations between the United States and Russia in Saudi Arabia behind Ukraine.
“He has been in meetings for three years and nothing was achieved, so I don’t think it’s very important to be. Look what happened to your country. It has been demolished, ”added the US President, who estimated that since he returned to power on January 20 there has been more advances than in all that time.
Trump stressed that Zelenski was not a priority at the negotiating table “because he did very badly” in the previous negotiation.
The American president added that he is the only reason why there is dialogue.
“If I were not involved, they would not be talking and Russia would continue to pass through Ukraine. He has taken over many lands and would continue to advance if it were not for me. They would not speak at all. I am the only reason why they are talking, ”he said.

Trump had accused Ukraine this week of starting war with Russia.
In his interview with Fox News he influenced that idea but nuanced her. “Russia was attacked. Russia attacked, but there was no reason to do so. Every time I say: ‘Oh, it is not Russia’s fault’, false news always criticizes me, but (Joe) Biden said wrong things, Zelenski said wrong things and were attacked by someone much bigger and stronger. ”
“It is something that is not right and that is not done, but Russia could have been convinced so easily that there should never have been a war. (…) I would never have attacked if there were people who knew what I was doing. Biden is a very very dumb guy. (…) I had no idea what I was doing. And everything he said was wrong. ”
Trump pointed out that he is not trying to leave his Russian counterpart well: “I am only highlighting that this war should never have begun,” he said that he would accept “today” a call from Zelenski because he is not playing about it.
The US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent, delivered on the 12th in kyiv to Zelenski a draft agreement to guarantee the continuity of US help in exchange for access to critical minerals of the rare earths that Ukraine possesses for an amount of 500,000 million euros.
Zelenski said later that he had not allowed his ministers to sign him because in his opinion he is not prepared to protect them or their interests.

Trump considered this Friday that Besent’s trip had been “a waste of time” for that reason, but his national security advisor, Michael Waltz, added at the Constitution of Conservative Political Action (CPAC) that the Ukrainians are about to sign it .
“Zelenski is going to sign that agreement and that will be seen in the very short term. And that is good for Ukraine. What better option for Ukraine than to have an economic association with the United States? ”He said in that forum that is held until Saturday on the outskirts of Washington.
