Former Trump national security advisor Bolton advised Zelensky to 'scream at a wall' instead of arguing with Trump.

Bolton stated: "I understand Zelensky is angry and disappointed. My advice: go into your office, close the door, and scream at the wall. Screaming at Trump only encourages him."

He called the idea that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries raise US diesel prices "complete nonsense," noting there is no link between them. He also considered Trump's intention to buy Russian diesel to lower domestic prices equally absurd.

Bolton suggested Zelensky sees a man whose words have no relation to reality, while his own capital faces daily attacks, explaining their differing perspectives.
