In His Words: Trump's Rhetoric About Zelenskyy and Putin Has Evolved

Trump shifted from pressuring Zelenskyy and pausing aid to criticizing Putin and endorsing a peace plan seen as favorable to Russia, amid 5,000 weekly Ukrainian military deaths.

  • On Nov. 23, President Donald Trump endorsed the peace plan described as favorable to Russia, set a Nov. 27 deadline for Volodymyr Zelenskyy to respond, and criticized Zelenskyy and European allies.
  • Earlier this year, Trump said `We want to end that war.`, echoing his campaign promise to end it `in 24 hours` while pursuing deal-making with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
  • In the Oval Office, Trump and Vance berated Zelenskyy, broadcast globally, canceled his White House visit, and days later paused then partly reversed U.S. military aid.
  • Senators from both parties warned the plan looked like a `wish list` from Moscow, but the State Department called this `false` while Rubio insisted the plan was U.S.-authored, and European allies expressed concern about its conciliatory tone.
  • Trump set the Nov. 27 deadline but signaled flexibility, noting he might negotiate past it as `5000 soldiers a week are dying` amid shifting tones in the 10 months since he took office.
