Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky remained upbeat after a tense diplomatic tour, including a difficult meeting with Donald Trump and JD Vance.
Warmly received in the UK, he rejected calls to apologize for the Oval Office clash and stood firm against territorial concessions to Russia.
Zelensky cautiously supported European-led peace efforts but emphasized Ukraine’s sovereignty, signaling willingness to grant the U.S. mineral rights.
Despite NATO urging him to mend ties with Trump, he maintained his stance, leaving diplomatic tensions unresolved as discussions on the war’s future continue.
I find the suggestion that having it in writing would make any difference amusing.
Is NATO just a handshake deal, or is there a formal written security guarantee? It doesn’t seem to really matter to the current administration.
The more likely reason Trump wouldn’t want a written agreement is because then he’d have to pretend to be able to read it.
It’s a lot harder to revise history that has been written down.
