Vladimir Zelensky believes he is still backed by the \u2018Deep State\u2019 and seeks to fight the US president, Andrey Telizhenko has told RT<\/strong><\/p>\n The relationship between the US and Ukraine is now undergoing \u201ctotal destruction,\u201d<\/em> with Vladimir Zelensky trying to fight President Donald Trump on behalf of America\u2019s \u2018Deep State\u2019, Andrey Telizhenko, former 3rd Secretary at the Ukrainian Embassy in the US, told RT. The \u2018Deep State\u2019 itself, however, appears to be falling apart as well, he warned.<\/p>\n Washington and Kiev have recently engaged in a bitter spat, with Zelensky and Trump, as well as other top officials, publicly trading accusations. Among other things, Zelensky has claimed that the US president was \u201cliving in a disinformation bubble\u201d<\/em> allegedly created by Russia. The Ukrainian leader also rejected a proposed deal that would give the US access to his country\u2019s rare-earth minerals to compensate for military aid. In addition, he has refuted Trump\u2019s estimates on the amount of aid Kiev has received, claiming it had not received even half of the quoted sum. Trump, for his part, has branded Zelensky a \u201cdictator without elections,\u201d<\/em> claiming the Ukrainian leader had an extremely low approval rating in his country.<\/p>\n The ongoing spat amounts to a \u201ctotal destruction of all relationships\u201d<\/em> between Washington and Kiev, Telizhenko said, suggesting that Zelensky has already missed his chance to have any say in potential negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine hostilities.<\/p>\n
