Just ahead of his trip to the United States where he's expected to meet with President Biden later this week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky gave an interview to The New Yorker wherein he mounted a risky and unexpected direct attack on Trump's pick for Vice President, Ohio Senator JD Vance.

Zelensky told The New Yorker in response to Trump's promises to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war that "Trump doesn't really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how."

"With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand," Zelensky contined.
