Ukrainians support Zelensky after tough Trump meeting

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faced a heated exchange with U.S. President Trump during a White House meeting, which ended without a signed agreement for U.S. support. Despite this, many Ukrainians expressed strong support for Zelensky, viewing him as a defender of their interests. The meeting aimed to establish a joint investment fund for Ukraine's reconstruction but concluded with no deal. Zelensky's firm stance against perceived disrespect from U.S. leaders resonated with citizens, who praised his commitment to Ukraine's dignity. Social media in Ukraine reflected widespread backing for Zelensky, contrasting with criticism from some political figures concerned about U.S. support. In Moscow, Russian media portrayed the meeting as a failure for Ukraine, predicting challenges ahead for Zelensky.
