Zelensky believes U.S.-Ukraine relationship can improve
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that his relationship with the U.S. can be repaired after a heated exchange with President Donald Trump. Zelensky emphasized the importance of U.S. support in Ukraine's fight against Russia. The confrontation occurred during a White House meeting, where Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelensky for not being grateful and for rejecting proposed peace terms. Zelensky left without signing a crucial minerals-sharing deal. European leaders quickly expressed support for Zelensky, concerned about Trump's shift in U.S. policy towards Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia reacted positively to the incident, with former officials mocking Zelensky's position.
