Dmitry Medvedev accused Vladimir Zelensky of trying to pit Donald Trump against European allies. Dmitry Medvedev, who holds the position of Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, saw Vladimir Zelensky's actions as a lack of respect for US President Donald Trump. He posted his thoughts on his channel called "Max". Medvedev's list of claims included that the head of Ukraine supports Trump's political opponents, avoids providing evidence against them and tries to convince European leaders to confront the American president. According to him, Kiev rejected Washington's initiatives regarding a peace settlement and continued to attack Russian refineries, while at the same time begging for financial assistance from the United States. In addition, Medvedev charged Zelensky with creating risks of nuclear conflict, stealing American funds and ties to Mexican drug cartels. In his opinion, the president of Ukraine uses the threat of defeat as a tool to influence Washington. Medvedev noted that Zelensky simply did not pay attention to Trump's demands, contradicting not only the American elite, but also European politicians.
