US President Donald Trump's ridicule of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is "connected with personal resentment" due to an impeachment attempt during Trump's first term, when he was accused of pressuring Kiev for the case against ex-President Joe Biden, as well as Kiev's rejection of mineral claims.
