The Ukrainian leader has recently renewed his call for Washington to supply air defense systems

Ukraine's Zelensky should never have started a war with Russia, US President Donald Trump has said.

In a press conference alongside El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump commented on Zelensky's recent offer to finance $15 billion worth of Patriot air defense batteries with the aid of Kiev's European backers.

"He's always looking to purchase missiles," the US presided noted.

"When you start a war, you got to know that you can win the war," he said of Zelensky. "You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."
