KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of living in a Russian-made “disinformation space.” The pointed comments risk further souring relations with Washington as the American leader pushes for an end to the war. Zelenskyy said he “would like Trump’s team to be more truthful” in his first response to a series of striking claims the U.S. president made the previous day. That included Trump suggesting that Kyiv was to blame for the war. Russia invaded on Feb. 24, 2022. The comments from Trump and Zelenskyy were a remarkable back-and-forth between leaders of two countries that have been staunch allies. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would like to meet with Trump, a day after senior American and Russian officials held talks.
