Ukraine-Krieg: Trump: Haben der Ukraine viel gegeben - und sie uns nichts

President Donald Trump has accused Ukraine of receiving insufficient reciprocation for the support provided by the United States. In Washington, he stated, "We have given Ukraine a lot - they have given us nothing. Don't forget that." Meanwhile, the "Axios" portal reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky complained that Washington is withholding weapons deliveries.

The accusation was said to have been made during a virtual meeting with US senators from both parties. According to Zelensky, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth refused to authorize the delivery of Patriot and additional air defense missiles, despite NATO countries having already paid for them, as reported by "Axios" based on a transcript of the meeting.

"All this suggests that a political decision was made to pull back support for us," Zelensky said. Trump, however, said that Zelensky does not know what he is talking about. Meanwhile, Trump further escalated his tone toward Kiev. Zelensky had previously indicated that Trump's Kremlin-friendly course was on the wrong side of history. Trump said, "Zelensky is not real help in peace efforts."
