US-Ukraine diplomatic relations worsen following Trump's criticism
The diplomatic relationship between the United States and Ukraine has worsened after President Donald Trump publicly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. This incident has raised concerns about future U.S. military aid to Ukraine. The U.S. recently voted against a United Nations resolution calling for Russia to withdraw from Ukraine, surprising many Western diplomats. This decision, along with Trump's remarks, has given Russia a propaganda advantage, portraying Ukraine as losing support. Despite the tensions, Zelensky expressed hope for salvaging the relationship with Trump. Meanwhile, European leaders continue to seek strong security guarantees for Ukraine, contrasting with Trump's preference for economic arrangements.
