Trump Criticizes Zelensky Over Refinery Strikes and Ukraine Elections

They're losing, on average, 25,000 no- now that number's going up to 32,000, but 25,000 mostly men, mostly military. You know, uh, small numbers relatively in towns and cities that are being hit.

But they're losing a tremendous amount of people.

Mm-hmm. And I wanna see it stop. And I want Zelensky to stop and I want Putin... Now, if you tell me that Zelensky is again shooting at, uh, refineries, all he's doing is making the world oil price higher.

And he is doing that. Well, I think that's a disgrace if you... There's plenty of other targets.

They don't have to hit... There are a lot of targets- Yeah ... that you can hit. But when you shoot at diesel refineries where you make, you know, diesel oil- Right ... and we need that, and the world needs that, then he's not doing a good service for the world.

Mr. President, you mentioned- And I think that, frankly, Zelensky has been there a long time, and I think it's time for... If they, if they wanna get that settled.

So I watched an interview of a young woman the other day from Ukraine.

And she said, "President Zelensky has destroyed our country."

Mm. "President Zelensky has taken our men away from us.

Our men have no legs, no arms. Our men are, in many cases, in mental institutions, or they're dead."

He said they need a two-month pause to hold elections.
