During a recent address at the Doha Forum, Donald Trump Jr. issued a stern warning regarding the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, suggesting that his father, former President Donald Trump, might withdraw American support for Ukraine unless Kyiv initiates peace with Moscow.

He sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, alleging that Zelenskyy is prolonging the conflict to stay in power, given his slim chances of winning re-election. Trump Jr. claimed that while ordinary Ukrainians are left to fight the war, affluent elites have relocated to Monaco.

Highlighting a perceived lack of transparency, Trump Jr. called Zelenskyy's Western idolization exaggerated, stating, "Zelenskyy has become a demigod, especially to the left." Asked about his father's potential actions, he expressed uncertainty, deeming Trump's unpredictability as a strategic strength.
