Zelenskyy urges Trump to visit Ukraine after Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy
Zelenskyy urged Trump to visit Ukraine to “understand what Putin did,” after a Russian missile attack in the city of Sumy killed 34 people and injured 119.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pleaded with President Donald Trump to visit his country to “understand what Putin did” after two Russian ballistic missiles tore into a city, killing 34 people and injuring 119 others Sunday.
"Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead,” Zelenskyy said while referring to Trump in a CBS interview broadcast Sunday.
He also referred to his catastrophic White House meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance in February that unraveled into a live-on-air clash, with Vance leading some of the strongest attacks on Zelenskyy during the extraordinary exchange.
“It seems to me that the vice president is somehow justifying Putin’s actions,” he said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I tried to explain, ‘You can’t look for something in the middle. There is an aggressor and there is a victim. The Russians are the aggressor, and we are the victim.’”
Trump previously blamed Ukraine for Russia’s invasion and said the country “should have never started it” while falsely accusing Zelenskyy of being a “dictator.”
