American President Donald Trump criticized the Ukrainian government, led by Volodymyr Zelensky, for its lack of gratitude towards the aid provided by the United States in the war with Russia. In a message on his social media, Trump emphasized that Ukraine has not expressed appreciation for American efforts, while some European countries continue to buy oil from Russia. Trump gave Ukraine a deadline until Thursday to respond to a peace plan that includes Russian demands, such as control over the Donbas region and renouncing NATO membership. If Zelensky does not accept, Trump warned that American military support could be withdrawn. Despite the pressures, Trump stated that the plan is not finalized. European leaders also considered that the proposal needs improvements. Trump's criticisms of Ukraine have been a recurring theme in his speeches, highlighting the tensions between Washington and Kiev.
