Washington: US President Donald Trump on Friday came down brutally hard on Ukrainian counterpart, telling Volodymyr Zelenskyy on face that he's losing the war, he's not going to win it, he doesn't have the cards to play, he's running low on soldiers and on the top of all this, he's denying the ceasefire and not even thanking the United States for all the help during war with Russia.
In a heated exchange with Zelenskyy which telecast in front of world media, Trump slammed Ukrainian President without being politically correct or friendly. The conversation, probably first of its kind ever telecast in front of the press, showed raw footage of how two heads of countries discussed issues especially when there were disagreements.
