At the same time, Trump weighed in with his own attack on Truth Social.

'A Dictator without Elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,' he wrote.

Vice President J.D. Vance met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference last week.

Vance returned to the White House on Wednesday, and spoke to DailyMail.com about Zelensky's attack on the U.S. president.
