What Zaluzhny says is probably true. But it’s seriously unwise & reckless for him to say it as a Ukrainian ambassador at this juncture. It could very well blow up the impending minerals deal & torpedo the resumption of aid & intelligence sharing, which Zelensky & allies have worked flat-out to get.

As an analyst, I criticize President Zelensky for mistakes, predict outcomes, and so on. However, he is honest in expressing the will of the people in foreign policy. He articulates what Ukrainians are trying to say, and in that respect, he is a true democratic leader.

Newspapers this morning. The Times called it a Meltdown in the Oval Office while The Sun called it 'The Fight House', all referring to the hard clash between Trump, Vance and Zelensky during his meeting to the United States.
