Russia labels Zelenskyy's U.S. visit a failure

Russia criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent visit to the United States, calling it a "complete failure." This follows a confrontation where U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance publicly admonished Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy aimed to sign a minerals deal that could lead to security guarantees from the U.S. However, the meeting did not go as planned, with accusations of disrespect directed at him. Russian officials reiterated their stance on Ukraine, labeling Zelenskyy as a "dangerous threat" and claiming their military objectives remain unchanged. Russia has been making gains on the battlefield against Ukraine.
