In a surprising turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has finally thanked former President Donald Trump and America for their support of Ukraine, months after former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance Jr. criticized the country for its lack of gratitude in English.
Zelenskyy, known for his comedic background before entering politics, couldn’t resist adding a touch of humor to his thank you message. “I want to thank Mr. Trump for his bigly support and tremendous aid to Ukraine. We truly appreciate his efforts, even if they were a bit… unconventional at times,” Zelenskyy quipped.
The Ukrainian President also took a jab at Vance’s previous comments, saying, “I hope this message is clear enough in English for Mr. Vance. We Ukrainians are very grateful people, we just have a unique way of showing it sometimes.”
Trump, never one to miss an opportunity for a good soundbite, responded to Zelenskyy’s thanks with his own brand of humor. “I always knew Ukraine loved me, they just needed a little nudge to say it out loud. Believe me, nobody supports Ukraine more than me, nobody,” Trump boasted.
As for Vance, he seemed to take Zelenskyy’s comments in stride. “I’m glad to see that Ukraine has finally found its voice in English. Maybe next time they can send a thank you note in Russian too,” Vance quipped.
Overall, this unexpected exchange between world leaders has brought a much-needed dose of humor to the often tense world of international politics. Who knew that a simple thank you message could cause such a stir? We can only hope that future diplomatic relations are conducted with the same level of wit and charm.
