Donald Trump Claims Ukraine’s Zelenskyy Wants Harris To Win 2024 Race ‘So Badly’

Former President Donald Trump on Monday claimed Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants Vice President Kamala Harris to win in November “so badly” during a rally in Pennsylvania, a key battleground in the race for the White House.

The GOP presidential nominee once again claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin would have never invaded his neighboring country if Trump was still in office, adding that the two countries could have come to an agreement a long time ago to avoid the suffering experienced on the Ukrainian side.

“They could have made a deal three years ago and everything would be happy, vibrant, their heritage wouldn’t have been broken,” Trump said of Ukraine.

Trump claimed Zelenskyy, who is in the U.S. for the United National General Assembly, is “the greatest salesman in history.”

“Every time he comes into the country, he walks away with 60 billion dollars,” Trump added, in an apparent reference to the foreign aid package Congress passed earlier his year, which included $61 billion for Ukraine.

Trump claimed Zelenskyy was rooting for Harris to win in November, and he went on to lay out his vision for Kyiv if he returned to the White House.

“He wants them to win this election so badly,” Trump said. “But I would do differently. I will work out peace.”

“If I win this election, the first thing I’m going to do is call up Zelenskyy and call up President Putin and I’m going to say ‘You gotta make a deal, this is crazy,’” he continued.

Zelenskyy visited an ammunition plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Sunday to thank the workers producing munitions that are key to his country’s fight against Russia. He was joined by Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), a key ally of Harris. The visit reportedly vexed some of Trump’s aides, according to Reuters,
