唐纳德·特朗普的特使对“勇敢的”弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基大加赞扬，而就在美国总统将他称为“独裁者”几个小时后，特使的态度明显发生了惊人的转变。
退役陆军中将基思·凯洛格在基辅会见泽连斯基后发表了上述言论，几天前，美国谈判代表在沙特阿拉伯与俄罗斯高级官员举行了会谈。
他在 X 上发帖称：“与乌克兰高层领导度过了漫长而紧张的一天，与泽连斯基和他精干的国家安全团队进行了广泛而积极的讨论。泽连斯基是一位身处战争之中、处境艰难、勇敢无畏的领导人。”
特朗普的特使还转发了泽连斯基对他们会晤的积极分析，乌克兰领导人称此次会晤“恢复了希望”。
此前，白宫曾要求泽连斯基停止对特朗普总统的“侮辱性”批评。
特朗普此前曾严厉批评泽连斯基，震惊世界各国领导人，甚至似乎将俄罗斯 2022 年入侵乌克兰归咎于他。
Donald Trump‘s envoy heaped praise on a ‘courageous’ Volodymyr Zelensky in an apparent stunning U-turn just hours after the U.S. president branded him a ‘dictator’.
Keith Kellogg, a retired Army Lieutenant General, issued the comments following a meeting with Zelensky in Kyiv days after U.S. negotiators sat down with top Russian officials in Saudi Arabia.
He posted on X: ‘A long and intense day with the senior leadership of Ukraine. Extensive and positive discussions with Zelensky, the embattled and courageous leader of a nation at war and his talented national security team.’
Trump’s envoy also reposted Zelensky’s own positive analysis of their meeting, which the Ukrainian leader said had ‘restored hope’.
It came after the White House had told Zelensky to stop his ‘insulting’ criticism of President Trump.
Trump had previously stunned world leaders by tearing into Zelensky and even appeared to blame him for Russia ‘s 2022 invasion of his country.
