Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied that US President Donald Trump believes he hasn't had the opportunity to review a recent peace proposal for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
According to sources, Trump expressed skepticism about whether Zelenskyy was aware of the latest offer. This sparked criticism from some who accused him of undermining the Ukrainian leader's ability to negotiate on behalf of his country.
The dispute emerged after a video surfaced of Trump stating that he wasn't sure if Zelenskyy had seen the peace proposal. The US President claimed it was unclear whether Ukraine was still interested in pursuing the deal, which includes steps to reduce tensions and stabilize the region.
Critics argue that Trump's comments were dismissive and failed to provide any evidence to support his claims. The Ukrainian government has since dismissed the remarks as "unacceptable" and an attempt by Trump to undermine Zelenskyy's authority.
The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Washington and Kiev, with some lawmakers calling for greater cooperation and diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

I mean come on, can't we all just get along? This whole thing is just so draining 
. Trump's comments seemed really out of touch to me - like, didn't he realize that Zelenskyy was trying to do his job here? 
It's not rocket science, but I guess you'd think that for a guy in the Oval Office 
.
. I get that both sides are trying to get what they want, but can't we just find a way to work together without all the drama? 
. Let's try to keep things civil over here 
.
?
. I mean, come on, shouldn't he at least give Zelenskyy some credit for trying? It's like, we get it, tensions are high, but being so blunt isn't gonna help 
. The Ukrainian government deserves better diplomacy from our allies
