Kremlin expresses strong support for Trump as U.S. dialogue on Ukraine resumes

The Kremlin has expressed strong agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump, who criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and suggested he must act quickly to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. This marks a shift from previous U.S. policies under the Biden administration. Moscow announced it would resume dialogue with Washington on various issues related to the Ukraine conflict, including potential prisoner exchanges. The Kremlin also voiced concerns over any plans to send NATO troops to Ukraine, viewing it as a threat to its security. As U.S.-Ukraine relations appear to deteriorate, U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg is set to meet with Zelensky in Ukraine. Zelensky has expressed worries that Ukraine may be sidelined in negotiations, fearing an unfavorable peace deal could emerge.
