Trump criticizes Zelenskyy, undermining Ukraine's position

President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy. Trump openly criticized Zelenskyy, emphasizing a desire for a quick resolution to the conflict with Russia, regardless of Ukraine's concerns. The meeting escalated into a heated exchange, with Trump warning Zelenskyy about being "disrespectful" and suggesting that Ukraine's stance could jeopardize U.S. support. This confrontation marked a departure from previous diplomatic efforts by U.S. allies to unify support for Ukraine. Following the meeting, plans for further discussions and a joint press conference were canceled. Zelenskyy expressed concern about the implications of Trump's approach, stating that Ukraine needs clear security guarantees before engaging in peace talks with Russia.
