Ukraine Hasn't Shown Gratitude Despite Receiving Aid : Trump

US President Donald Trump is not holding back from attacking Iranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and has accused Ukraine’s leadership to be showing “zero gratitude” concerning everything the United States has sent their way since Russia’s invasion.

Trump posted a lengthy as well as and emotional post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, and highlighted all his familiar grievances about the conflict, Biden, and the 2020 election, and the only difference that came this time was that he brought in the heat even more.

Trump stated that the war “is a violent one that, with strong and proper US and Ukrainian leadership, would have never happened.” The US President has come up with this type of sentiment earlier as well, but this message seemed like it is tied to Joe Biden’s presidency to a much greater extent. Trump says that this conflict “started during Joe Biden’s administration and even worsened when he left the office, what he called a “rigged and stolen” 2020 election

“If the 2020 presidential election was not rigged and stolen … there would be no Ukraine/Russia war,” he wrote, insisting that during his own term “, there wasn’t, not even a mention.” He has also repeated the old argument with the Russian President that he launched he invasion because he “saw Sleepy Joe in action” and thought, “Now is my chance.”

He also framed the war as “inherited” despite the fact that the war began more than a year after he left office. Next, what he rightly said was the fact that the war has taken the needless lives of “millions of people.” And eventually he dived into slamming the Ukrainian Government, reflecting that Kyiv has failed to show basic appreciation. He wrote, “Ukraine’s leadership has expressed zero gratitude for our efforts,” and suggested that the United States has practically emptied its pockets with zero return on investment.

He further stated that “Europe continues to buy oil from Russia,” while the US “continues to sell massive amounts of weapons to NATO, for distribution to Ukraine.” He also revived his years-long attack on Biden’s approach to foreign aid, accusing the administration of handing Ukraine “everything, free, free, free, including ‘big’ money.” Trump has repeatedly suggested that Kyiv takes US support for granted while expecting American taxpayers to keep footing the bill indefinitely.

He closed his message with an oddly solemn note, writing: “God bless all the lives that have been lost in the human catastrophe.” Trump’s post landed just as American, European and Ukrainian officials gathered in Geneva to negotiate Washington’s draft peace plan — a plan already under heavy scrutiny. The proposal has been criticised in Kyiv and in several European capitals for appearing soft on Moscow and for proposing limits on Ukraine’s future military strength. Tensions behind the scenes are growing, and Trump’s fresh outburst adds yet another explosive political wrinkle.

As world leaders attempt to find common ground, Trump’s message suggests he has little patience left and even less sympathy for Ukraine. And with negotiations intensifying, his warning shot about “zero gratitude” could foreshadow even tougher rhetoric in the days ahead.
