He can fight his little heart out’: Trump on potential Zelensky refusal
The US president has indicated the Ukrainian leader
will be on his own if he rejects the peace plan currently being
discussed
Washington presented Kiev this week with a new draft proposal for ending the conflict, pressing the Ukrainian leadership to accept it by next Thursday. According to media reports, the proposed 28-point plan includes multiple clauses repeatedly refused by Kiev and its Western European backers, such as Ukraine giving up on its NATO aspirations and downsizing its military.
Trump made the remark while speaking to reporters outside the White House on Saturday. The US president was asked what would happen if Zelensky refused to accept the proposed plan.
“Then he can continue. Then he can continue to fight his little heart out,” Trump said.
- Trump’s latest statement echoed remarks he made on Friday, when he said that Zelensky
- “He will have to like [the plan] and if he does not like it then, you know, they should just keep fighting, I guess,” he said.
According
to media reports,
1 Washington has already threatened Kiev with cutting
off military aid and intelligence sharing should it reject the draft
peace proposal.
2 Earlier this year, the U.S. used the same leverage to
press Ukraine into accepting Trump’s rare earths deal.
