This figure appears to be based on a different calculation and definition of aid. It may also include categories that we do not track in our dataset."

When asked about the gap between these figures and Trump's $350 billion claim, UST project leader Taro Nishikawa told DW

Yaroslav Zheleznyakpeople's Deputy of Ukraine

We may have different opinions about Zelensky, but only Ukrainian citizens have the right to judge his support…And to publicly criticize him too, because, in the end, he is our elected leader."

Yaroslav Zhelezniak, a Ukrainian lawmaker from the opposition party Holos said

Yes, he's not a perfect president, but he's not a dictator…It feels like the whole world is against us."

Kateryna Karaush, a 25-year-old tech worker from Kyiv, said

We have a president whom we support. During war, we are united."

Larysa, a 52-year-old from the city of Kharkiv, who refused to give her last name because of security concerns, said

The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president's mind by badmouthing him in public media…everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration."

In an interview with the Daily Mail he said

Zelensky is not going anywhere, at least not anytime soon. If anything, Trump's attack has made him more popular and made the Ukrainian opposition to rally behind him."

Eugene Finkel, a professor of international affairs at Johns Hopkins University, told Newsweek

Volodymyr Arievrepresentative of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

Holding elections now would only benefit the Kremlin, further dividing Ukrainians and installing a new president who could sign a deal favorable to Moscow."

Volodymyr Ariev, a lawmaker from the opposition European Solidarity party, said

Where does that take us? They are close allies of this country and the rest of the European nations, and therefore that means that we will almost certainly be in a state of war with Russia over that if they try to have a go at the Baltic states.”

Shirreff continued

I think the events of the last week have made the likelihood of war with Russia within the next three to five years much, much more likely.”

Dmitry Peskovkremlin spokesman

I think this is wrong,

Peskov said, according to Russian news agencies

Iryna Herashchenko (politician)representative of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

I don’t think that this ‘peace process’ is for Ukrainians’ sake. It is laughable that they pretend it is,

said Iryna, 26, a lawyer from Kyiv

There is only one problem: insufficient and untimely military assistance from allies, including the United States,

said Serhii, a 50-year-old accountant

Ukraine will have to keep fighting – deal or no deal,

said Katarina, 37, an interior designer and architect who left Kyiv when the war began and now lives in a small village in a suburb of the Ukrainian capital

I had hoped that we could put an end to the bloodshed, negotiate a fair deal for Ukraine, get some real security guarantees,

he said

It is not uncommon to not invite weaker parties to the table during diplomacy talks,

he said

I feel that Trump wants to become a hero, to be the next Reagan, who warmed relations with the USSR which later led to its dissolution and an American win in the cold war,

he said

Another document, the so-called peace agreement, will turn into another piece of paper,

he said

I don’t think Trump gives a damn about Ukraine,

she said

Now, ... I have no housing, no job, I’m a refugee.”

she said

Trump would be correct to use the term dictator to describe Putin, who has used fake elections to remain in power for a quarter of a century,
