Zelenskyy says he feels betrayed by Trump as US support wavers
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he feels "betrayed" by US President Donald Trump following a diesel deal with Russia and other Washington actions, stating "our country must survive." Zelenskyy criticized the loss of the US as a strong partner, saying it is painful when Trump does not choose Ukraine's side. He also accused SpaceX of restricting Starlink satellite use, weakening Ukrainian drone defense and air defense systems. Elon Musk blamed the US government for the satellite communication restrictions, stating Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US military and ultimately the president. Russia continued attacks on Kyiv, with Ukraine relying heavily on US intelligence for defense.
