The son of the American president, Donald Trump Jr. claims that “Ukrainian corrupt rich people fled” their country and left those “whom they consider to be the peasant class” to fight.

Trump Jr. said this during a conference on the Middle East, The Guardian writes, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.

Without providing any evidence, the son of the US president said that this summer in Monaco, 50% of supercars such as Bugatti and Ferrari had Ukrainian license plates.

In addition, Trump Jr. called Ukraine “more corrupt” than the aggressor country Russia, and accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of allegedly “dragging out” the war because he knows he will not win the next election.

According to Trump Jr, Zelenskyy is “almost a deity to the left.”

“We hear all the rumors about what’s going on when we see that all the license plates in Monaco are Ukrainian […] the rich fled, and those they considered the peasant class were left to fight in these wars. There was no incentive to stop, because as long as the money was coming in and they were stealing, no one was checking anything, so there was no reason to make peace,” Donald Trump Jr. said.

In addition, he admitted that his father could withdraw from the peace process to end Russia’s war against Ukraine and reiterated Donald Trump’s promise that the United States would no longer be “an idiot with a checkbook.”

Earlier in February, Trump Jr. said that Russia’s war against Ukraine meant “very little” to the people of the United States.

Also in November, he was outraged by the criticism of US special envoy Steve Witkoff, which appeared against the backdrop of negotiations on a plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine and a leaked conversation with an aide to the Russian dictator Yuri Ushakov.

Trump’s son claimed that Vitkoff’s critics allegedly want the peace deal to fail.
