Zelenskyy warns U.S. siding with Putin would be a 'historic mistake'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the U.S. formally siding with Russia's Vladimir Putin would be a "historic mistake," while still calling President Donald Trump an ally despite recent actions unsettling Ukraine. Zelenskyy cited Trump's waiver of new sanctions on Russia, a brief block on U.S. intelligence sharing, and limits on Starlink technology as moves that hinder Ukraine's defense. He said the diesel deal with Putin won't affect U.S. fuel prices, which he attributed to Strait of Hormuz blockages. Zelenskyy expressed hope for a meeting with U.S. negotiators, noting intelligence sharing has been restored, though Starlink speed restrictions remain. He said he remains open to dialogue despite strained personal relations with Trump.
