Sen. Majority Leader John Thune declined to address President Trump's comments labeling Ukrainian President Zelensky as a dictator. Amid ongoing discussions regarding the conflict in Ukraine, Trump criticized Zelensky for not managing the situation effectively, raising concerns over Ukraine's martial law preventing elections. Thune, supportive of aiding Ukraine, emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution and suggested that discussions are ongoing, but sidestepped directly engaging with Trump's controversial remarks about Ukrainian leadership and responsibility for the war.
A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left, Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday.
I think what I'm in support of is a peaceful outcome and result in Ukraine, Thune replied while dodging the question.
Well, I, like I said, the president speaks for himself, Thune replied. What I want to see is a peaceful result, a peaceful outcome.
A day before, Trump bizarrely blamed Zelensky for the war.
