Former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of wanting Democrats to win the 2024 US election. Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump claimed Zelenskyy “wants them to win this election so badly” and that he would “work out peace” if elected.

Trump’s statement contradicts his allies who believe Ukraine would welcome Trump back as the only one capable of negotiating with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war.

While Trump claims to have a peace plan, he offers no details except for his willingness to call Putin and Zelenskyy to negotiate. However, he has repeatedly criticized US aid to Ukraine and declined to say he wants Ukraine to win.

Zelenskyy, meanwhile, has repeatedly called for a full Russian withdrawal from Ukraine and the restoration of its borders. He has also said that decisive action by the US could hasten the end of the war.

The Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, in response to Trump’s remarks, highlighted the former president’s failure to express support for Ukraine’s victory.

The statement comes as Zelenskyy has been in the US attending the UN General Assembly, where he reiterated his call for continued support from the US. He also visited a weapons factory in Pennsylvania alongside Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, a move that angered some Trump associates.

The conflict in Ukraine has become a major topic in the 2024 US presidential election. With significant Ukrainian and Polish populations in key states like Pennsylvania, the two campaigns are vying for the support of Eastern European voters.
