Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of refusing to strike a deal with Moscow to end Russia's war in Ukraine.
"We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal," Trump said at a campaign rally in North Carolina.
"So many dead people, any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now," the former US president said.
"You have a country that has been obliterated, not possible to be rebuilt," Trump continued, referring to the situation in Ukraine. "It will take hundreds of years to rebuild it. There's not enough money to rebuild it if the whole world got together."
Trump criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their ongoing support of Ukraine, indicating he would end US aid to the country if re-elected in the US presidential election on November 5.
"They're not going to be satisfied until they send American kids," Trump claimed, "we're not going to have our soldiers die across the ocean," he said.

One wonders how much freedom and latitude Zelensky really has
He ran for President promoting the Minsk Accords and peace in Donbas. Yet he always had the aggressive CIA-trained Azov types around him and looking over his shoulder.
Then after the SMO started, Boris Johnson, on behalf of NATO, got him to abandon the peace agreement Ukraine and Russia had negotiated in Turkey. Some radicals have threatened to kill him if he makes any concessions to Russia at all.

The only thing I would say about President Trump’s comments is that the ‘not possible’ part be changed to ‘not practically possible’ which is more accurate, IMO.
However, given the scale of the damage, rebuilding UKR is too big for the US (who would be called on to fit the larger part of the bill). That, coupled with what’s been done to us by Democrats on illegal immigration, the economy and entitlement giveaways, would finish us.
