Zelensky faces criticism while gaining Ukrainian public support

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office turned confrontational, with Trump demanding gratitude for U.S. support. The anticipated bilateral agreement to end the war was not reached, and Zelensky left without signing. Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky criticized Zelensky's performance, calling for his impeachment and labeling the meeting a "diplomatic failure." He claimed Zelensky's leadership has led to repression and a deadlock in the country. Despite the criticism, many Ukrainians supported Zelensky, viewing him as a defender of national interests. Some expressed disappointment with the U.S. treatment of Zelensky during the meeting.
