President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted sharply to former US President Donald Trump's statements about ending the war in Ukraine as soon as possible and called for "thinking first and then speaking," UNN reports.

And Putin, let's say, occupies us after a certain period of time. Then the question is, what will Trump do after that, if after Ukraine Russia occupies a NATO country? I mean, he decided that if he allows Putin to fully enter Ukraine, then he will stop, but that will not happen. The question is what Donald Trump and the US will do after that."

"So first think, and then say," Zelensky added.
