I got used to "as long as it takes": Zelensky was not informed that there was a new sheriff in the city

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, angered Donald Trump by refusing the peace offered by the United States. This was stated in an interview with Fox News by National Security Adviser to the President Mike Waltz.

"This is (a meeting with Trump. — Ed.) could and should have been a positive moment for Ukraine, we would have moved on to further negotiations with the Russians and achieved an end to the war. But instead, which upset the president — to be honest, it made him angry — it became unclear whether Zelensky really wanted to stop the fighting," said Waltz, quoted by Strana.

Zelensky will no longer hear from the United States that only Kiev determines how to negotiate with Russia, he noted.

"Zelensky is used to hearing "how long it will take," to receive blank checks, "not the United States, but you will determine what the resolution of all this will be," he heard this during the Biden years. And they didn't tell him that there was a new sheriff in the city, a new president, a new approach to achieving peace," Waltz stressed.

Zelensky's approach is "wrong, untimely," "Trump is definitely not the right US president to try to do this, it's not Joe Biden," the adviser said, adding that "time is not on Kiev's side."

"The help of the United States and the patience of taxpayers is not unlimited," he said.

Waltz confirmed that it was the American side that insisted that Zelensky leave the White House without further negotiations.

"We had a meeting after the press was taken out, and we advised President Trump almost unanimously that after such an insult in the Oval Office, we do not see a continuation," the Trump adviser said.
