Zelenskyy is dictator? Trump's response sparks debate on Putin's role

It nears to three long years since the beginning of conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ex-U.S. president, Donald Trump, seems to be actively seeking a deal for peace. He further landed himself in controversy by declaring dictator status on Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy; he avoided giving a clear answer regarding any statements concerning Putin when asked about him, sources say unconclusively.

Trump to meet Zelenskyy

Trump plans to meet Zelenskyy to finalize on a strategic deal wherein he also said in this news briefing that President Zelenskyy would be in touch with him in a few days. The negotiation will be aimed at finalizing the terms of a serious deal benefiting both countries. In Trump's own words, the deal will give the United States access to mineral properties and help set the scene for an end to the financial support that Washington has been providing to Kyiv.

"I will have discussions with President Zelenskyy soon, and he might visit the U.S. this week or next," Trump related regarding the continuation of the discussion.

Trump's approach to foreign relations respecting Putin. 
Justice was drawn into the question of whether Trump saw Putin as a dictator relating to earlier remarks he made about Zelenskyy at a press conference shared with Emmanuel Macron. Trump, however, carefully chose his words and did not give a Yes or No answer.

"I don't use such terms lightly. Let's wait and see," Trump answered, shunning a straightforward position on Putin.

He then expanded on his views of the war as to say that top Ukrainian leaders had blown everything out of proportion. In this, he charged the government of Ukraine for the purportedly princely aid extended to the country by the United States: somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 billion. Refraining from disclosing the exact particulars of such a meeting, hinting that it should involve finding grounds for future negotiations between Trump and Putin.
