Trump and Vance criticize Zelensky during meeting

Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has raised concerns among his close associates. Trump’s claims of being able to end the war in Ukraine appear overly optimistic, as negotiations with Russia remain challenging. During the Oval Office meeting, Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelensky, suggesting he disrespected the U.S. and did not express enough gratitude. This marked a stark contrast to previous diplomatic gestures toward Ukraine. Zelensky pointed out that Russia has violated ceasefire agreements, indicating that any peace deal must be credible. Despite recent diplomatic efforts, the meeting revealed underlying tensions and left European leaders uncertain about the path forward.
