Plus tôt dans la journée, le président ukrainien a jugé que son homologue américain vivait « dans un espace de désinformation » russe, au lendemain de critiques acerbes de Donald Trump reprenant la rhétorique du Kremlin.
Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, labeling him a "dictator without elections" and accusing him of starting the conflict. Zelensky countered by stating that Trump resides in a space influenced by Russian disinformation. Germany responded by condemning Trump's remarks as false and dangerous, emphasizing that Ukraine's suspension of elections is due to martial law and constitutional provisions.
