US Vice President JD Vance said in an interview that Ukraine would not exist if not for the US and recommended thanking Washington instead of insulting President Donald Trump. Vance also recommended that Zelensky get better consultants and understand that “badmouthing” Trump in public is not the way to get him to change his mind. Several hours later in the day, Trump criticized Zelensky for his unwillingness to hold elections, called him a "dictator" and also suggested that the Ukrainian leader wants to keep the "gravy train" going amid the grinding conflict with Russia.

US Vice President Says Ukraine Wouldn't Exist Without US Generosity, Calls Insulting Trump ‘Stupid’
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – On Wednesday, Zelensky remarked that Trump's recent comments suggest the American president may be living in a "Russian disinformation" space. Vance responded in an interview that Zelensky’s tactics to "badmouth" Trump would only have negative consequences for Ukraine.
US Vice President JD Vance said in an interview that
Ukraine would not exist if not for the US and recommended thanking Washington instead of insulting President Donald Trump.
“His [Volodymyr Zelensky’s] country wouldn't exist without the generosity of the [US]. So, say thank you, and if you disagree with the President [Trump], pick up the phone and call him, or call one of our great diplomats. Don't go on a media tour around Europe, badmouthing the President of the United States. It's insulting, … And by the way, it's stupid,” Vance said on Thursday.
Vance also recommended that Zelensky get better consultants and understand that “badmouthing” Trump in public is not the way to get him to change his mind.
Several hours later in the day, Trump criticized Zelensky for his unwillingness to
hold elections, called him a "dictator" and also suggested that the Ukrainian leader wants to keep the "gravy train" going amid the grinding conflict with Russia.
