US President Donald Trump has hit out at Ukraine’s leaders, accusing them of being ungrateful in a further sign of deteriorating relations between him and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump also hit out at Europe for continuing to buy Russian oil.<\/p>\n

“UKRAINE “LEADERSHIP” HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Mr Trump posted.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump also wrote that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, would have never happened with “strong and proper” US and Ukrainian leadership.<\/p>\n

His predecessor Joe Biden was in office when Russia ordered its troops into Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The post, put online on Sunday morning local time, came after the US presented Ukraine with a 28-point peace plan on Friday.<\/p>\n

The plan calls on Ukraine to cede territory, accept limits on its military and renounce ambitions to join NATO, echoing many demands Russia has made in recent years.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has given Mr Zelenskyy until Thursday to accept the plan or face the withdrawal of US support and intelligence sharing.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian president responded by saying his country faced the choice of either losing its dignity or losing the backing of a key ally<\/a>.<\/p>\n

European leaders have voiced alarm at the plan<\/a>, and were gathered on Sunday in the Swiss city of Geneva to discuss it.<\/p>\n

Since the plan was announced, there has been considerable confusion about who was involved in drawing it up. European allies said they had not been consulted.<\/p>\n
