In the latest news on President Donald Trump’s administration, tensions escalated as Trump criticized Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy during efforts to address the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump’s aides and allies, echoing his sentiments, urged Zelenskyy to show more appreciation for U.S. support and consider concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Some even went as far as suggesting Zelenskyy’s resignation, despite Ukrainian public support for him.

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer rallied European leaders to support Ukraine and outlined a plan to end the war with Russia. This plan includes maintaining aid to Kyiv, applying economic pressure on Russia, ensuring Ukraine’s sovereignty in any peace deal, and continuing to arm Ukraine for deterrence.

As Trump’s allies criticized Zelenskyy following the contentious Oval Office meeting, uncertainties loom over the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and the conflict’s resolution. The situation remains complex, with implications for both countries and the ongoing conflict that started with Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

In another update, Trump is set to deliver a significant speech to Congress, prompting anticipation about his stance on various issues, including Ukraine, legislative plans, and his overall approach. The speech’s impact and nuances are closely watched, highlighting the importance of the event for both domestic and international audiences.
