"This is my answer," Zelensky said, as journalists broke into laughter at a press conference in Brussels after he met EU leaders.
Zelensky had been asked if Trump was lashing out at the Ukrainian leader as a way to deflect from his own political strife ahead of next month's midterm elections as he is bogged down with Iran and diesel prices have soared.
