Trump and Zelenskyy traded blows with the Ukrainian leader saying Trump was &#8220;living in a disinformation space&#8221; governed by Moscow after Trump pushed forward with US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia from which Kyiv was excluded.Speaking to reporters in Florida, Trump called Zelenskyy a &#8220;dictator&#8221; and claimed he &#8220;refused to have elections&#8221; in Ukraine. Zelenskyy&#8217;s five-year term was due to end in May 2024. However, elections in Ukraine have been suspended after the country declared martial law in response to Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Trump&#8217;s comments attracted criticism from multiple European leaders including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who posted on X that &#8220;it is simply wrong and dangerous to deny President Zelenskyy democratic legitimacy.&#8221;&#8221;The fact that regular elections cannot be held in the middle of a war is in line with the requirements of the Ukrainian constitution and electoral laws. No one should claim otherwise,&#8221; Scholz said. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson also said Trump&#8217;s use of the word dictator was &#8220;incorrect&#8221; while Germany&#8217;s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called the comments &#8220;absurd.&#8221;&#8221;If you look at the real world instead of just firing off a tweet, then you know who in Europe has to live in the conditions of a dictatorship: people in Russia, people in Belarus,&#8221; Baerbock told public broadcaster ZDF. The leader of Germany&#8217;s largest opposition party and frontrunner in Sunday&#8217;s elections Friedrich Merz said that Trump&#8217;s comments were &#8220;a classic reversal of the role of perpetrator and victim.&#8221; &#8220;To be honest, I am somewhat shocked that Donald Trump has now obviously made this his own,&#8221; Merz told broadcaster ARD. French President Emmanuel Macron posted on X that &#8220;Ukraine must always be included and its rights respected&#8221; as he outlined three conditions that he described as &#8220;France&#8217;s efforts for peace.&#8221;Both Macron and Starmer will head to the White House early next week to discuss the war in Ukraine. European leaders have reiterated that both they and Ukraine should have a seat at the negotiating table after the US convened talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.The meeting in Riyadh signalled a tectonic shift in relations between the US and Russia, where the two sides agreed to reset relations after three years of US-led efforts to isolate Russia.ADVERTISEMENTFollowing the meeting, Trump made a series of comments in which he seemed to blame Ukraine for Moscow&#8217;s full-scale invasion. \u201cToday I heard, \u2018oh, well, we weren\u2019t invited.\u2019 Well, you\u2019ve been there for three years &#8230; You should have never started it. You could have made a deal,\u201d Trump said.In response, Zelenskyy accused Russia of influencing Trump&#8217;s views during Tuesday&#8217;s meeting.&#8221;With all due respect to President Donald Trump as a leader &#8230; he is living in this disinformation space,&#8221; he said.ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Trump called Zelenskyy a &#8220;dictator&#8221;, sparking criticism from European leaders including UK&#8217;s Starmer and Germany&#8217;s Scholz, who defended Zelenskyy&#8217;s democratic legitimacy.
