The latest from President Zelenskyy includes:
“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.”

Of course, he cut his diplomatic teeth standing up to Putin.
President Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,
Respect dropping TBH
Unless they want to broaden the war themselves, in which case Poland is chomping at the bit over there to march on Moscow.
He didn't say he was wrong, he didn't say "we started the war", he didn't say he'd trust a Putin ceasefire. But he *is* giving Trump space to back down.
Zelenskyy knows full well that Trump can't be trusted. He's forcing Trump to keep moving the goalposts in broad daylight.
If he's agreed to it (and he said, clearly, security is part of the deal), then I trust Zelenskyy.
Maybe when Russia breaks the deal this time, people will pay attention.
I don't blame him one iota.
the question will be how much he allows Trump/Vance to push him further
He was setup, in-front of TASS (who, "snuck in") to give Putin a display so that the US could justify removing aid to Ukraine this week.
It is fucking obvious, and it's sad that this is the level we're at right now. Poor Ukraine.
He's boxing Trump in on the "minerals" agreement because the reality is that Trump doesn't want it and is playing games. What's Trump going to do - sign a deal and then start backing Ukraine? No. Absolutely not.
None of the other words matter at all.
my heart. Shame on the USA.
