Donald Trump issues major threat to Zelenskyy on new deal before he ‘loses the whole country

Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently made a bold and controversial statement about the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. He strongly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and warned that Ukraine could lose everything if it doesn’t change its approach to peace negotiations. Trump shared his thoughts in a post on Truth Social, his personal social media platform.

Trump’s message came after Zelenskyy gave an interview to *The Wall Street Journal*, where he made it clear that Ukraine would never officially recognize Russia’s control of Crimea. Crimea is a region that Russia took from Ukraine back in 2014. Zelenskyy said there was “nothing to talk about” when it came to giving up that land. Trump didn’t like that. He called Zelenskyy’s statement dangerous and said it could ruin the chances of peace.

Trump argued that Crimea was already lost years ago and blamed the Obama administration for letting it happen without a fight. He said Russia took over Crimea without firing a single shot, and that the area had been used by Russia for its submarines and military bases even before then. Trump said bringing up Crimea now just adds fuel to the fire and makes the war harder to end.

He also said that Zelenskyy has no reason to “boast” about anything. Trump believes the war has gotten to a point where Ukraine is in real danger of losing the whole country if it doesn’t accept peace soon. He thinks continuing to fight could drag on for another three years and lead to more loss and suffering. According to Trump, Ukraine has a choice: make peace now or risk total destruction.

Trump added that he has no personal connection to Russia, but he does care about the lives being lost. He said around 5,000 soldiers from both sides are dying every week for no good reason. He blamed Zelenskyy’s recent comments for keeping the war going and preventing a solution that could save lives.

He claimed that a peace deal is close and that Zelenskyy, who Trump described as having “no cards to play,” should stop dragging things out and help finalize the agreement. Trump said he wants to help both Ukraine and Russia end what he called a “complete and total mess.” He also repeated a point he often makes—that the war never would have started if he had still been president.

This statement has caused a lot of discussion. Some people agree with Trump and think Ukraine should try to end the war quickly. Others feel his comments are too harsh and unfairly blame Zelenskyy, who is leading a country that’s been invaded. The situation in Eastern Europe remains very tense, and many people are watching closely to see what happens next.
