Zelensky criticizes Trump for claims Ukraine started war with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for suggesting Ukraine started the war with Russia. Zelensky stated he would not "sell" Ukraine amid ongoing peace talks between the U.S. and Russia that excluded Ukraine. Trump expressed disappointment over Zelensky's complaints about being left out of negotiations. He suggested Ukraine should have made concessions to Russia. This follows recent discussions indicating that NATO membership for Ukraine might not be guaranteed. European leaders are responding to the situation, with UK Defence Secretary John Healey meeting his Norwegian counterpart. Discussions are ongoing about U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine, as concerns grow over the implications of the peace talks.
