The Ukrainian president recalled the tactics of the Russian Federation.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky rejected Donald Trump's comparison of Ukraine and Russia "behaving like children."

"We are not children with Putin on a playground in a park. He is a murderer who came to this park to kill children," the Ukrainian leader said in an interview for ABC News, commenting on Trump's statement.

Zelensky added that this statement by Trump shows that the White House chief does not understand the scale of the tragedy experienced by the Ukrainian people. Zelensky described the "boundless" pain of a Ukrainian father who lost his wife and three children in the missile strike.

"He simply said: "Every morning when I wake up, I look for my family - I look everywhere in the apartment ... I still feel like it was a nightmare ... a bad dream," Zelensky shared.

Trump "could not fully feel and understand this pain," the Ukrainian president noted. He recalled that 631 Ukrainian children died in the war.

"And it's not about President Trump, but about any person who is not here in the country, thousands of miles away - they cannot fully feel and understand this pain," he said.
