Chicago Ukrainians express betrayal over Trump's comments on Ukraine war negotiations

Local Ukrainians in Chicago are expressing feelings of betrayal amid escalating tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump criticized Zelenskyy, suggesting he should negotiate peace with Russia quickly. Zelenskyy responded by accusing Trump of spreading disinformation. Many in the Ukrainian community feel Trump's comments undermine their struggle, especially as the war has caused significant personal losses. Trump's recent claims include a false assertion that Ukraine started the war. Ukrainian supporters emphasize that Ukraine has been the victim since Russia's invasion began in February 2022.
