Tensions are rising between the U.S. and Ukraine as President Trump and President Zelenskyy criticize each other during ongoing peace talks with Russia. Trump labeled Zelenskyy a "dictator" and suggested Ukraine started the war, prompting a strong rebuttal from Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy accused Trump of being influenced by Russian disinformation and called for more honesty from his team. Some Republican lawmakers expressed disagreement with Trump's comments, emphasizing support for Ukraine and the need for a peaceful resolution. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin has expressed interest in meeting with Trump. This development follows Ukraine's exclusion from recent U.S. discussions with Russia regarding the conflict.
