At a press conference held by the European Council in Brussels on October 16, Ukrainian President Zelensky was asked whether US President Trump was using him as a 'scapegoat' to divert attention from his country's political difficulties.
"Zelensky president, I am Alistair Pankhurst from Sky News UK." "President Trump is facing a difficult midterm election with his personal support ratings low. High diesel prices in the US and his Middle Eastern war effort has not progressed as he hoped. Do you feel you are being scapegoated for his own problems?" The reporter asked Zelensky.
The British newspaper The Guardian reported that after a long 15-second pause, Zelenskyy gave a helpless smile and said, "That's my answer."
