The former US president echoed his successor in accusing the Ukrainian leader of being ungrateful for American assistance
Former US President Joe Biden has accused Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of being stubborn and insufficiently grateful for Washington’s support during the conflict with Russia, according to excerpts from his forthcoming memoir published by The Wall Street Journal on Friday.
In ‘Promise Me, America,’ which is scheduled for release on November 17, Biden looks back on his four years in the White House and his dealings with world leaders, reserving some harsh words for Zelensky.
While Biden acknowledged that Zelensky’s acting career had prepared him well for wartime leadership, he complained that the Ukrainian leader “could be moody and stubborn in our private conversations, and not as grateful as I would have expected.”
Before entering politics, Zelensky was a comedian, actor, and television producer. He became widely known for starring in Servant of the People, a comedy series in which he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes Ukraine’s president. He subsequently launched a political party bearing the show’s name and won the real presidential election in 2019.
