In his strongest remarks to date, former President Donald Trump appeared to urge Volodymyr Zelenskyy to ease his rhetoric and engage in peace talks with Russia, criticizing the Ukrainian leader for suspending democratic elections under martial law.

"Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and "TRUMP," will never be able to settle," Trump wrote in a scathing rebuke Wednesday morning,

"The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back.

"Why didn't Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.

"On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is 'MISSING.'

"He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden 'like a fiddle.'

"A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left."

Trump's comments came as Zelenskyy just rejected talk of forcing him to hold a democratic election again and a White House official reportedly said it came as a direct backlash to Zelenskyy claiming Trump lives in a Russian "disinformation space."
