Tensions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump are escalating, with Trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator on social media and urging him to end the war quickly. Zelenskyy has responded by suggesting that Trump is spreading disinformation and called on his team to be more truthful. Several European leaders defended Zelenskyy, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The U.S. has had a mixed approach to the Ukraine conflict, threatening sanctions against Russia while also pressuring Ukraine for access to its rare-earth minerals. The U.S. recently held talks with Russia about ending the war without Ukraine’s involvement, drawing criticism. Russian President Vladimir Putin described the talks as positive and expressed interest in meeting with Trump. Trump’s blaming of Ukraine for the invasion has been widely condemned, with leaders and observers warning that it could encourage further Russian aggression. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham placed blame on Putin and called Trump Ukraine’s best hope for ending the war. Zelenskyy is meeting with Trump’s envoy for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, for constructive discussions. The war in Ukraine has resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and casualties. The recent drone attack on Odesa has left tens of thousands without power in freezing temperatures. Trump’s focus on the human toll of the war has raised concerns about the U.S. approach to the conflict.
