Zelenskiy honored by Ukrainian diaspora in Washington, D.C

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy received a standing ovation from the Ukrainian diaspora in Washington, D.C., on February 28, 2025. He expressed gratitude for their support in defending Ukrainian children affected by the conflict with Russia. On March 1, Zelenskiy emphasized the importance of keeping Ukraine's situation in the public eye. This followed a tense meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, which did not go as planned. The meeting aimed to secure more support for Ukraine's war effort but resulted in increased tensions between Ukraine and the U.S., marking a significant low in their relationship.
