Former Nigerian Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is finished and his days are numbered.

 

Fani-kayode said Zelenskyy’s disrespect at the White House was an indication that his days are numbered and Russia had finally triumphed.

He faulted Zelenskky for engaging in a heated argument with President Donald Trump of the United States and Vice president JD Vance, who offered him a chance for a peace deal that would the Russia-Ukraine war.

The meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and Vance which was scheduled to be a mineral dealing signing parley snowballed into a heated argument over Russia’s decision to end ceasefire in the ongoing war with Ukraine.

During the meeting, Zelenskky had pushed back on decisions from the US president and his Vice, thereby, leading to a heated argument.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode posted on X: “After what happened today I can safely say that Zelensky is FINISHED!

“@realDonaldTrump gave him a chance for peace and invited him to the @WhiteHouse. Instead of being thankful he went there and started being disrespectful, attempting to impose his will and talking absolute rubbish.

“His days are not only numbered but #Ukraine as a nation is finished and thankfully #Russia has finally triumphed!

“Kudos to Trump and @JDVance for putting the deluded rat-like, cocaine-sniffing and ungrateful midget in his place.

“Millions of Ukrainians have been killed and his nation destroyed because of his greed, delusions, insanity and over-bloated ego.

“Zelenksy should put his tail between his legs, return to his country, resign as President and go back to being a Grade B actor and comedian.”
