Ukrainians express concern as U.S. support declines under Trump

Ukrainians in Kharkiv express feelings of abandonment as U.S. support wanes under President Trump. Many residents, including teachers and parents, lament the loss of a vital partnership amid Trump's criticism of President Zelenskyy. Trump's recent comments label Zelenskyy a "dictator" and echo Kremlin narratives, raising concerns among Ukrainians about their leader's legitimacy. This shift follows Trump's phone call with Putin and a meeting between U.S. and Russian officials. Tensions escalated after Zelenskyy rejected U.S. demands for Ukraine's mineral rights. He stated that discussions about giving up resources were not serious, emphasizing that he cannot sell his country.
