EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRUMP AND ZELENSKY, REPUBLICAN'S CLASH

A recent confrontation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has led to significant divisions within the Republican Party and strained U.S.-Ukraine relations.

During a White House meeting, Trump accused Zelenskyy of prolonging the conflict with Russia and suggested he was ungrateful for U.S. support. Vice President JD Vance echoed these sentiments, criticizing Zelenskyy's approach. The meeting ended abruptly, with Zelenskyy leaving without signing a planned minerals deal intended to bolster Ukraine's economy.

This incident has caused a rift among Republicans. Senators such as Lindsey Graham and Josh Hawley have criticized Zelenskyy, with Graham suggesting he should resign. Conversely, moderate Republicans like Don Bacon have expressed concern, calling it a "bad day for America's foreign policy."

Democrats have condemned Trump's actions, accusing him of siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin and undermining Ukraine's sovereignty. Fourteen Democratic governors issued a joint statement criticizing the treatment of Zelenskyy during the meeting.

Internationally, European leaders have voiced strong support for Zelenskyy, emphasizing the need for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. The diplomatic fallout from the meeting continues to affect global responses to the ongoing conflict.
