Sir Keir Starmer has defended Ukraine’s president against Trump’s ‘dictator’ jibe
JD Vance, a free speech advocate, has warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky against publicly criticizing former U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently labeled Zelensky a "dictator." Vance argued that such criticism would not change Trump's opinion and could harm relations. Trump's remarks came amid tensions over U.S. policy toward Ukraine, including signaling support for Russian annexation of Crimea. Sir Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, defended Zelensky as a democratically elected leader, while German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called Trump's comments "false and dangerous." Zelensky has dismissed Trump's claims as Russian disinformation, with 57% of Ukrainians expressing trust in him.
