Republican senators who were hudded shortly after President Donald Trump called the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator”, come behind Trump's requirement to Zelensky to face the voters in his country.
Some Russian hawks in Trump's party continue to explode Russian President Vladimir Putin as the only party responsible for the war, despite the stunning U-turn of Trump when he accused Zolensky of starting the war and said he “had it must end '.
“I think Vladimir Putin started the war,” said Senator John Kennedy (R-La.). “I also believe, out of bitter experience, that Vladimir Putin is a gangster. He is a gangster with a black heart, “of which he said he shared the taste of Josef Stalin for blood.”
But other senate republicans recorded Trump's criticism that Zensky, who declared the state of siege after Putin's troops had invaded his country, now had to stand for re -election after the first conversations between us and Russian negotiators. That is an important question from Moscow.
“We need elections in Ukraine,” said Senator Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) that after the result of a lunch from Senate Republicans attended by VP JD Vance. “Soon,” Trump's ally told DailyMail.com.
“He should hold an election,” said Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO.).
“We held elections during the Second World War,” Hawley told DailyMail.com. 'Great -Britain held elections during the Second World War. They are a democracy. They have to keep elections. I don't think it's different. '
President Donald Trump's amazing comments blame
He added: “I am worried that they have not had an election for a long time and we finance their government.”
Zensky posted on X on Wednesday that he spoke with Graham by telephone. 'We appreciate the bicamerale and two -part support of the American congress for the Ukrainian people in our fight against Russian aggression, “he wrote.
He also hurried to contact world leaders to strengthen the position of his country, in the midst of the fear that it could be carved at the negotiating table. Zensky said he has a meeting with Trump's Envoy Gen on Thursday. Keith Kellogg would meet.
As always, Senator Graham is constructive and does a lot to help peace closer. It is first of all that security guarantees remain on the table and that they work for Ukraine, for real and lasting peace. '
That appreciative phone call came after Vice President JD Vance criticized Zensky's own blows in Trump for pushing 'disinformation' in exclusive comments to DailyMail.com.
'The idea that Zensky is going to change the president's thoughts by making him bad in public media, anyone who knows that the president will tell you that this is a horrible way to deal with this administration
Trump called Zensky a 'dictator' and a 'modest successful comedian'
The congress has sent billions of military aid to Ukraine, but public support has been taken
Zensky said he spoke with senator Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) after Trump's 'dictator' attack on him
“I think Vladimir Putin started the war,” said Senator John Kennedy (R-La.)
Zensky stated the state of siege after the infringement of the 2022 of Russia in his country. Elections would be held in 2024. In a stunning movement, Trump attacked Zensky as a dictator and called him a 'modest successful comedian' a day after he accused Ukraine of starting the war.
Moscow, and now Trump, have said that he must stand for re -election before a peace agreement can come into force. That is after Russian negotiators and their American counterparts have discussed potential economic cooperation. The Russian side even said that the parties discussed potential joint oil and gas drilling in the Arctic.
Trump's comments forced the legislators of his own party to struggle for ways to explain the new attitude of the administration, after years of sending billions to help the fight of Ukraine.
“The president speaks for himself,” said the new leader of the majority of Senate John Thune.
Senator Thom Tillis (RN.C.) said he did not agree with Trump's decision to meet the Russians without the Ukrainians present. “They were invaded by Putin and he is responsible for murder, rape, torture, kidnapping of an unprecedented number of Ukrainians. They must be at the table, “he said.
Roger Wicker Wicker Wicker (R-Miss.) Senate Senate Officer told CNN on Monday when he was asked if Putin could be trusted in conversations: 'No. Putin is a war criminal who should be in prison for the rest of his life, if not executed. '
