Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "a dictator" on Wednesday after Zelenskyy accused him of living in a "disinformation bubble." Trump’s comments followed U.S.-Russia talks on ending the war in Ukraine. Trump criticized Zelenskyy as a "comedian" who convinced the U.S. to spend billions on a war that "couldn’t be won." Several Republican senators disagreed with Trump's remarks. Zelenskyy insisted Ukraine cannot accept decisions made "behind our backs" and spoke against handing over rare earth minerals.
