Ukraine aims to improve ties with Trump for aid

Ukraine is trying to improve its relationship with Donald Trump to secure U.S. aid. Trump has pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to agree to a cease-fire, warning that without it, Ukraine may have to "fight alone." Trump's administration is frustrated with Zelenskiy, viewing him as ungrateful and dismissive. The U.S. has indicated that military support could be at risk if Zelenskiy does not comply with Trump's demands. Zelenskiy has acknowledged the importance of U.S. support for Ukraine's survival. He is now focused on maintaining a calm approach to negotiations, despite the deteriorating relationship with Trump and his administration.
