Zelensky gains European support despite tensions with Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faced tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump this week but gained support from European leaders. Despite the conflict, European officials expressed solidarity with Zelensky, countering Trump's criticisms. Zelensky's approval ratings increased following the dispute, with polls showing around 57% trust among Ukrainians. This marks a rise from previous months, indicating strong domestic support despite external pressures. Zelensky is set to meet with Trump's special envoy on February 21. The meeting may address ongoing issues between Ukraine and the U.S. amid the backdrop of the conflict with Russia.
