US President Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, writing on his Truth Social network that "Putin would never have attacked if the 2020 election hadn't been stolen. The Ukrainian 'leadership' has shown no gratitude for our efforts." He also accused Europe of "continuing to buy oil from Russia," writing: "The US continues to sell enormous quantities of weapons to NATO for distribution to Ukraine. God bless all the lives lost in this human tragedy."
