Zelenskyy Meets EU Leaders as His Rift with Trump Deepens
The European Union fears Zelenskyy’s criticism of Trump could widen tensions with Washington and weaken transatlantic ties, the Financial Times reported.
- European Union leaders plan to urge Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to moderate his public criticism of President Donald Trump, the Financial Times reported. The move follows concerns that such rhetoric could further strain already tense relations between Washington and Kyiv.
- This week, Zelenskyy and Trump engaged in a war of words, with Zelenskyy accusing Trump of "loving" autocrats and linking his respect for long-term power to his approach toward Russia. The exchange defied Washington's directive to stop striking Russian refineries.
- Zelenskyy claimed Ukraine ceased strikes on Russian oil refineries yet still receives no warnings regarding Russian ballistic missile attacks. He also alleged that Starlink terminal service restrictions resulted from political will, not technical malfunctions.

- A former American diplomat noted that previous attempts to appease Trump through flattery proved futile for Kyiv. This suggests moderating criticism may not resolve deeper strategic disagreements currently impacting the alliance.
