Trying to pressure Zelensky into an apology, knowing he won’t, is just an excuse for the US to shift blame for its own failure to reach a truce with Russia - something that would make Trump look weak. Do you expect Vance to ever treat Netanyahu the same way he did Zelensky?

1/ So the Trump admin did it. Military aid is now a coercive tool and it might never be resumed. Europe, it's on you now. Time to get serious! The Catch-22 is that doing what's right and in Europe's best interest might draw Trump & co's wrath, hastening a Transatlantic split.

If you were the Kremlin, why would you make any concessions right now? You have every incentive to demand it all: land, sanctions relief, demilitarisation, neutralisation & no troops in Ukraine. If it collapses, Trump likely to blame Ukraine anyway, allowing continuation of war on better terms.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s heated Oval Office meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky signals a major shift in U.S. foreign policy, one that a Kremlin spokesman says "largely aligns" with Russia’s interests.
