US cancels press conference with Ukraine's Zelenskyy after Kyiv talks on security and investment

The United States has canceled a planned press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after talks in Kyiv. The meeting with US envoy Keith Kellogg focused on security and investment but did not include public statements. Zelenskyy described the conversation as "good and detailed," emphasizing Ukraine's readiness for a strong agreement with the US. The cancellation follows recent tensions between Washington and Kyiv, particularly after critical remarks from US President Donald Trump about Zelenskyy. Trump's comments have raised concerns in Europe about US reliability as a security partner. Meanwhile, US officials have suggested Ukraine should accept a minerals deal, which Ukraine previously rejected due to a lack of security guarantees.
