Ukrainian president has a ‘productive meeting’ with US envoy after exchanging barbs with Donald Trump.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the importance of strong ties with the United States following U.S. President Donald Trump's recent characterization of him as a "dictator." Trump's remarks escalated tensions, particularly amid concerns over potential U.S.-Russia talks that could end the war in a manner favorable to Russia. Trump also falsely claimed Zelensky is unpopular, prompting Zelensky to accuse Trump of succumbing to Russian disinformation. Despite the conflict, Zelensky described his meeting with U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg as productive, highlighting ongoing efforts to maintain U.S. support.
