The aftermath of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting at the White House on February 28 has left the world stunned. Zelenskyy traveled to Washington seeking peace talks to end Ukraine’s war with Russia. However, instead of constructive dialogue, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance publicly berated Zelenskyy, demanding gratitude for U.S. aid. The confrontation damaged the strong U.S.-Ukraine alliance, eroding trust and cooperation.
Following the meeting, Trump suspended all military aid to Ukraine, further isolating the country. Despite this setback, Zelenskyy responded diplomatically, emphasizing Ukraine’s desire to move forward. A later ceasefire proposal was discussed, dependent on Russia’s acceptance, raising cautious hopes for peace. Zelenskyy remains focused on defending Ukraine’s sovereignty, with his leadership gaining further support amidst ongoing challenges.
