Donald Trump Criticizes Volodymyr Zelensky Over Bad Decisions
In a recent exchange with reporters, former President Donald Trump took a swipe at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, questioning his leadership and strategy in the ongoing war with Russia.
When asked whether he had spoken with Zelensky about Ukraine’s interest in purchasing more Patriot missile systems, Trump dismissed the inquiry, saying, “Oh, I don’t know. He’s always looking to purchase missiles, you know.”
He went on to criticize Zelensky’s decision-making in the face of the conflict. “When you start a war, you’ve got to know that you can win the war, right?”
Trump said:
You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.
The comments mark a continued pattern of skepticism from Trump toward U.S. aid to Ukraine and its leadership. His remarks drew immediate attention for their blunt tone and timing, as Ukraine continues to appeal for Western military support amid sustained Russian aggression.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
