Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused U.S. Vice President JD Vance of “somehow justifying” Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, his most critical comments about the top American politician since their heated Oval Office exchange in February.
Speaking to American news program 60 Minutes, Zelenskyy said some officials in the U.S. government were falling victim to Russian disinformation and pushing an “altered reality” about which side started the war.
“I believe, sadly, Russian narratives are prevailing in the U.S.,” he said, according to a translation of his remarks by CBS. “This speaks to the enormous influence of Russia’s information policy on America, on U.S. politics and U.S. politicians.”
