Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine's president said he was not offended by Trump's words calling him a “dictator.” European leaders criticized Trump's statement, and the KIIS denied Zelenskyy's low approval rating.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he was not offended by US President Donald Trump for calling him a “dictator.” He said this during the forum “Ukraine. Year 2025” forum, a correspondent of UNNreports.
I have a pragmatic approach to relations with the current administration and will continue to do so. But I certainly wouldn't call President Trump's words to me complimentary, to put it mildly. But why take offense? Only those who are dictators take offense to the word “dictator”. But I take it as “what can you do?” We'll live with the United States of America somehow. We will definitely not be dictators
